According to reports, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi's 12 Tughlaq Lane home in Delhi has been reallocated after his parliamentary membership was reinstated. He had left the home in April of this year, following his disqualification as an MP.

Rahul received the home for the first time in 2004 after winning the Amethi constituency in the national elections.The Lok Sabha Housing Committee has served Rahul Gandhi with a notice to vacate his residence at 12 Tughlaq Lane on April 22.

Rahul Gandhi wrote in the letter that he owed the "happy memories of my time spent here" to the people's mandate. "Without prejudice to my rights, I will, of course, abide by the details contained in your letter," he continued.
