The excited states of 127I were populated via 124Sn(7Li, 4n
) fusion-evaporation reaction at 
MeV. A strongly coupled 
band has been established above 2423keV state with 
as bandhead, likely to be associated with the three-quasiparticle configuration. Spin and parity of these multi-quasiparticle states have been confirmed from DCO ratio and linear polarization asymmetry of depopulating -rays. The parity of these states have been found altered from their previous assignment.
