According to top sources, Gupta has been allotted Bungalows 1/8 and 2/8 on Raj Niwas Marg. The location is close to her Assembly constituency, as she had earlier requested.

The residence is situated next to Raj Niwas, the official residence of the Lieutenant Governor of Delhi. However, Gupta will move in only after the bungalow is renovated. The date of her shifting is yet to be confirmed.
