Looking at the above sentence we find that:

• The error lies in part 2 of the sentence.
• The given word fastly is wrong as there is no such word.
• The correct word that should be used here is fast.

• The word fast in itself is an adjective and an adverb.
• So adding ly does not create an adverb or adjective but instead a wrong word. 

​Hence from the above points, we find that the error lies in part 2 of the sentence due to the non-existing word fastly.

Thus the correct statement will be: 'Although Rahul ran very fast he could not catch the moving bus.'
