12, Janpath, was the residence for nearly three decades of the late former Union minister Ram Vilas Paswan, who passed away in October 2020. In March this year, the Paswan family was evicted from the premises after they refused to vacate despite several notices from the directorate of estates under the ministry of housing and urban affairs (MoHUA).
