I was surprised and did an ls -l on the files and guess what I found:

So end result is that, Im not able to delete the files or change perms
or ownership even as root.

Most probably, your filesystem is broken and needs a fsck.

No, this is perfectly normal behaviour, for when a directory
has READ permissions but not EXECUTE permissions.

Eg.

        mkdir a
        touch a/b
        chmod 644 a
        ls -l a

Try it!

Cheers
