Government Denies Claims About Jagdeep Dhankhar's Residence
Some people on social media said that Jagdeep Dhankhar's house had been sealed, but this isn't true.
The government confirmed these claims are false.
Dhankhar, who used to be the Vice President, resigned from his job, and his health was the reason.
He is now preparing to move out of his official residence.
Typically, former VPs have a month to relocate, but Dhankhar might move out earlier.
The house is near the Parliament and is the first residence of the new Vice Presidential complex.
Claims surfaced on social media alleging the sealing of Jagdeep Dhankhar's residence.
The Press Information Bureau (PIB) fact-checked and refuted the claims, labeling them as 'fake'.
Dhankhar resigned as Vice President, with health cited as the reason in his resignation letter.
Dhankhar is reportedly moving out of the Vice President's residence.
Officials indicate Dhankhar may vacate his residence sooner than the typical timeframe.
