I did try and rebuild it, only to get error message

DBA_SEGMENTS table clearly shows that old tablespace contains index BM7 and not in P_3_NEW where I want to rebuild it.

Jus check this might be the case.Had u created a index or partioned index with the name in doube quote ("indx_name")...ther lies the probs.
Code:
 
SQL> alter index emp_id rebuild;
alter index emp_id rebuild
*
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01418: specified index does not exist


SQL> alter index "emp_id" rebuild;

Index altered.
