After converting my indesign file to a reflowable epub there is one paragraph which seems to be repeating across the whole document, that too with weird spacing. I prepared everything for epub conversion correctly, this is the first time I have ever encountered this problem.

I'm not clear on the basis of the problem... is this bullet point supposed to be repeated in all these locations, or is it showing up there unwanted?
Assuming you mean it to be there and you're getting this odd spacing in every case, I would make sure there is a single clean style applied to it, with no overrides of any kind. It could be that an override or phantom style is applied that was replicated if you copied this passage from place to place in the document.
If it has exactly the same style, no overrides or spot formatting, as other paragraphs in the same bullet style, I'd look at the actual exported XHTML to see if something odd is going on with the exported code. In particular, it looks as if there might be a line break (soft return) in there causing the justification to go wonky.
Turn on hidden characters in ID to see if anything unwanted is hiding in there.

Hello James,
The bullets (in the red mark) are not meant to be repeated, they are showing up unwanted. The place where they belong they show up there properly but also end up repeating across the document with wonky spacing.
PS: When exporting I have turned off 'preserve local overrides'

I can't think of any obvious reason a block of text would repeat in an EPUB exporr unless they are in the source document.
A look at the XHTML might show some clues as to why the text is there (long shot).
You might clean up the source doc by exporting it to IDML and opening and resaving as INDD, to clear up any doc corruption.

Had a look at the XHTML and the text was alright in the place it belong but was repeated and interspersed across the whole file with no spacing, of course, I was able to remove it manually but what I don't understand is how it got to be like this.

If the text is not in the source document I am at a loss as to how it could replicate in the export. Try that source file cleanup (IDML and back to INDD).

PPS: all paragraph styles are clean
