The error is caused by deleting AD user as requester.
PIM search requests with user information as LDAP, so it failed to find correct data and failed to delete record.

Resolution

Please  delete as following steps with direct SQL statement:
* Note:  Please backup to restore all data before these steps.

1. Connect to the ENTM Database.
2. Back up the PRIVILEGED_ACC_EXCEPTION table (Just in case we need to refer for further)
3. Run the below query to fetch the number of records associated with the deleted users by providing the list of usersid's.

select * from [ACENTMDB].[dbo].[PRIVILEGED_ACC_EXCEPTION]
    WHERE ("IS_DELETED"<> 'true' OR "IS_DELETED" IS NULL)
      AND convert(datetime, VALID_UNTIL, 105) < GETUTCDATE()
      AND USER_FRIENDLY_NAME in ('USERID1', 'USERID2', 'USERID3');

4. Run the below query to update the IS_DELETED flag to true by providing list of deleted usersid's.

update [ACENTMDB].[dbo].[PRIVILEGED_ACC_EXCEPTION]
   set IS_DELETED ='true'
    WHERE ("IS_DELETED"<> 'true' OR "IS_DELETED" IS NULL)
      AND convert(datetime, VALID_UNTIL, 105) < GETUTCDATE()
      AND USER_FRIENDLY_NAME in ('USERID1', 'USERID2', 'USERID3');
