Hi Nihar,
Trigger.New is not availble for delete.
Please use bellow modified code.
trigger ContactBeforeInsert on Contact (before insert, before update, before delete) {
    if(!trigger.isDelete){
        for(Contact objContact : Trigger.new){
            if(trigger.isBefore){
                objContact.Description = 'Contact is created by ' + UserInfo.getUserName() + '. Description is added in before insert Trigger.';
             }
            if(trigger.isUpdate)
            {  
               objContact.Description = objContact.Description + 'Contact is updated by ' +UserInfo.getUserName() + '. Description is updated in before update Trigger.';
            }
        }
    }
    else{
        // trigger.isDelete
        List<Task> lstTask = new List<Task>();
        for(Contact objContact : Trigger.old){
         // Create a task to track that contact is deleted
              Task objTask = new Task();     
              objTask.Subject = 'Contact Deleted';  
              objTask.Priority = 'Normal';      
              objTask.Status = 'Completed';               
              objTask.Description = 'Contact ' + objContact.Id + ' is deleted by ' + UserInfo.getUserName() + '. Description on contact was ' + objContact.Description;
              lstTask.add(objTask);
        }    
        try{
              insert lstTask;
          }
          catch(Exception ex){
              
          }     
    }
}

Hi Nihar ,
If you want to update description on contact after insert and update of contcat then bellow sample code will work which is modified version of your code.
After delete you need to save deleted by on other  record. I have created a  new task for that case.  
 
trigger ContactBeforeInsert on Contact (before insert, before update, before delete) {
    for(Contact objContact : Trigger.new){
        if(trigger.isBefore){
            objContact.Description = 'Contact is created by ' + UserInfo.getUserName() + '. Description is added in before insert Trigger.';
         }
        if(trigger.isUpdate)
        {  
           objContact.Description = objContact.Description + 'Contact is updated by ' +UserInfo.getUserName() + '. Description is updated in before update Trigger.';
        }
       if(trigger.isDelete)
        {  
          // Create a task to track that contact is deleted
          Task objTask = new Task();       
          objTask.Subject = 'Contact Deleted';    
          objTask.Priority = 'Normal';        
          objTask.Status = 'Completed';                  
          objTask.Description = 'Contact ' + objContact.Id + ' is deleted by ' + UserInfo.getUserName() + '. Description on contact was ' + objContact.Description;
          try{
              insert objTask;
          }
          catch(Exception ex){
              
          }
        }
    }
}

The same Trigger is optimized here and issue has been fixed.
Try bellow code and let me know if any query.
trigger ContactBeforeInsert on Contact (before insert, before update, before delete) {
    if(trigger.isInsert){
        for(Contact objContact : Trigger.new){
            objContact.Description = 'Contact is created by ' + UserInfo.getUserName() + '. Description is added in before insert Trigger.';
        }
    }
    else if(trigger.isUpdate){
        for(Contact objContact : Trigger.new){ 
             objContact.Description = objContact.Description + 'Contact is updated by ' +UserInfo.getUserName() + '. Description is updated in before update Trigger.';
        }
    }
    else if(trigger.isDelete){
        List<Task> lstTask = new List<Task>();
        for(Contact objContact : Trigger.old){
         // Create a task to track that contact is deleted
              Task objTask = new Task();     
              objTask.Subject = 'Contact Deleted';  
              objTask.Priority = 'Normal';      
              objTask.Status = 'Completed';               
              objTask.Description = 'Contact ' + objContact.Id + ' is deleted by ' + UserInfo.getUserName() + '. Description on contact was ' + objContact.Description;
              lstTask.add(objTask);
        }    
        try{
           insert lstTask;
        }
        catch(Exception ex){
