Congress MP and son of Sheila Dikshit, Sandeep Dikshit is currently residing in this house at B2 Nizamuddin East in South Delhi district.

According to sources close to the leader, the former Wayanad MP is currently in a process of shifting his house to another building in the same area.

However, the final call has not been taken yet and it will be taken only after approval for security as Rahul Gandhi is accorded Z-plus security.

He had vacated his house in April itself when he was disqualified from Lok Sabha membership following his conviction in a criminal defamation case by a Gujarat court.

Sources also said that after receiving a No-Objection Certificate (NOC) from security agencies, Rahul will be a tenant of Sandeep Dikshit and he will be signing a rent agreement of the 1,500 sq ft flat situated behind Humayun’s Tomb.
