Workaround
1. Try to drop the segments that are corrupted.
2. Recreate the object in new tablespace.

*** Other segments stored in the same datafile***

SELECT DISTINCT(owner || ' - ' || segment_name || ' - ' || partition_name || ' - ' || segment_type ) SQL 
FROM dba_extents
WHERE file_id = 26 
AND segment_type NOT IN ('INDEX SUBPARTITION', 'INDEX');
