Congress's Udit Raj claims family forcibly evicted from Delhi bungalow
What's the story
Congress leader Udit Raj has alleged that his family was forcibly evicted from their Pandara Park bungalow in New Delhi, despite the matter being sub judice. The bungalow is officially allotted to his wife, retired Indian Revenue Service officer Seema Raj. She claimed she had paid the license fee until May 31 this year and repeatedly wrote to the Directorate of Estates asking for more time to arrange for another accommodation, citing her father's illness and death.

Seema explained that her superannuation retirement was on November 30, and claimed that she could've retained the accommodation for another six months. She also mentioned a court hearing scheduled for October 28 on a related matter. "The authorities came deliberately on a day when the courts are not open," she said.

Udit, who was a Bharatiya Janata Party MP from North West Delhi from 2014-19 before joining the Congress, alleged that the eviction was "selective" and "motivated." He claimed it targeted an opposition leader from a lower caste, while many upper-caste people continue to occupy government bungalows. "What difference would three or four more days make?" he asked.
