Disqualified as MP, Rahul Gandhi asked to vacate official bungalow by April 22
New Delhi, Mar 27: Disqualified Lok Sabha member Rahul Gandhi has been asked to vacate the official bungalow allotted to him by April 22, official sources said on Monday.
The notice to Gandhi to vacate the 12, Tughlaq Lane bungalow was served by the Housing Committee of the Lok Sabha and follows the disqualification notice issued last week.
A local court in Gujarat had convicted Gandhi in a criminal defamation case on March 23 and sentenced him to two years in jail. The two-year jail term triggered his automatic disqualification as Lok Sabha member.
A senior official said a disqualified Lok Sabha member has to vacate the official bungalow within one month of losing his membership.
Another official said that Gandhi can write to the Housing Committee seeking an extended stay, a request that can be considered by the panel.
The notification issued by the Lok Sabha Secretariat was marked to various departments, including the Directorate of Estates, New Delhi Municipal Council, and all the benefits available to Gandhi as a member of Parliament too are under review.

CCTV footage from Kejriwal's home surfaces, Maliwal says 'political hitman' trying to save himself
New Delhi, May 17: The "political hitman" has started making efforts to save himself, AAP Rajya Sabha MP Swati Maliwal said on Friday as purported CCTV footage from Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's residence surfaced online.
In the 52-second video, Maliwal is seen arguing with the security staff at the chief minister's residence.
Maliwal was allegedly assaulted by Kejriwal's aide Bibhav Kumar at the chief minister's official residence on Monday. The Delhi Police registered an FIR in the matter on Thursday and named Kumar as an accused.
"Like every time, this time also this political hitman has started making efforts to save himself," Maliwal said in a post on X without naming anyone.
"By getting his people to tweet and share videos without any context, he thinks he can save himself by committing this crime. Who makes a video of someone being thrashed? The truth will be revealed to everyone as soon as the CCTV footage of the house and the room is examined," she said.
In the purported video, Maliwal is heard saying that she has called the police control room and would wait till the police personnel arrive.
"I will tell all. Let me talk to your DCP," she says, warning the security personnel that she would get him terminated if he touches her.
हर बार की तरह इस बार भी इस राजनीतिक हिटमैन ने ख़ुद को बचाने की कोशिशें शुरू कर दी हैं।
