Wow! Impressive. Well, more than likely the clutch pressure plate and friction plate are worn out and slipping causing your RPMs to raise like that.

Ok..,got it. What about the issue with hesitation, afterwhich I press the clutch and the accelerator pedal and a puff of smoke and a pop sound is emitted from the exhaust?

That could more than likely be related to the clutch issue. The hesitation could be connected with clutch slippage. If you are revving the engine excessively, The engine could reach the rev limiter, which could cause the pop and smoke.
