The problem was traced to be the rear differential all along. The problem does not manifest after a cold start. After driving it for 15 mins, the rear differential sticks/locks and almost acts as one axle. We have dismantled the rear differential and we did not see any problems.
My mechanic suggests that we remove the spring that controls how much torque is needed before the LSD kicks in to make it behave as if an open-type differential (I do not need an LSD anyway). Anyone heard of this or done this before?
