Try to umount the file system that contains the corrupt file and check it with fsck (or probably e2fsck, depending on your file system type).
If you cannot umount the file system because it's in use, you might have to boot a live system from CD/DVD/USB to do the fsck

@Mov Did you unmount the file system for fsck? Maybe you have to force the check. Please show thefsckcommand and its output in your question. ...and themountoutput as already suggested. If you unsuccessfully tried other things, add this information to your question.

I did force fsck at boot and rebooted the system. and no errors reported at that time. AFAIK, at the boot time, when you run fsck, filesystem is always in unmounted state. I assuming you are not referring to the single user run level after the boot. May be I need to nuke the filesystem?

Please add all important information to the question. This way it's easier for everyone to understand the problem. You could try to boot a live system and see if it shows the same problem for the affected file and if yes try to runfsckfrom there. If you only write what you did without showing the exact command and output it is not possible to check for errors or give hints for better commands.
