Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, who was disqualified as MP after conviction in a defamation case, vacated his official residence today.

The former Congress president was asked to vacate the 12, Tughlaq Lane bungalow by April 22 following his disqualification after the conviction and two-year sentence by a Surat court for his 'Modi surname' remark.

The former Congress chief had on April 14 shifted his office and some personal belongings from the bungalow to his mother Sonia Gandhi's official residence.

Sources said Gandhi moved out his remaining articles on Friday evening from the bungalow which was allotted to him as an MP.

A truck was seen moving out the building with his belongings.

He has been living in the bungalow for nearly two decades.

After shifting his office, he started living with his mother and Congress Parliamentary Party Chairperson Sonia Gandhi at her 10, Janpath residence, the sources said.
