I traveled to Sweden from Mumbai on the 29th of July and I had a 22 hours stay in Turkey and as I had a valid Schengen visa I could apply for a tourist visa and spent a day in Turkey

Now I am returning to Mumbai on the 8th August and my duration of the Schengen visa of 11 days is completed but my Schengen Visa is Valid till 20th August and I want to stay in Turkey for 3-4 days which is still in the validity of my Schengen visa. My doubt is as Indians are only allowed a E-Visa or a visa on arrival only if we have a valid Schengen visa ...

Will I be issued an entry into Turkey on my way back?

You were eligible for an e-Visa for Turkey before use of your Schengen visa because you were able to confirm:

I have a valid Supporting Document (Valid visa OR valid residence permit from one of the Schengen Countries, USA, UK or Ireland). E-visas are not accepted as supporting documents.

Since that visa was single-entry it expired on your entry to Sweden, therefore does not qualify you for an e-Visa on return to India. Instead you would need to go through the Pre-Application System for Turkish Sticker Visa. Without that, as I fear you may already have discovered, you will not be allowed entry.
