Because initially when I was using a single atom style I use the command in Tk console as ' topo readlammpsdata file.data <atom_style>'. It works fine at that time. But here I can not specify the atom style as I am using a hybrid style not a single style. How can I solve this problem?

you would have to modify the TopoTools plugin to support hybrid
styles. TopoTools only supports the most common atom styles.

not data files with hybrid styles. you have to output your system in a
format supported by VMD where the atom style does not matter, e.g.
using write_dump
