A month after the sudden resignation announcement, former Vice President Jagdeep Dhankharhas vacated the Vice President's Enclave, the official residence of the Vice President, on Monday evening.

Since his resignation, he has kept away from the public eye, prompting concerns about his whereabouts. Earlier in the day, he stepped out of the official residence and went to the Army’s Research and Referral Hospital in Dhaula Kuan to see a dentist, according to a report by The Indian Express.

He shifted to a farmhouse of Indian National Lok Dal (INLD) chief Abhay Singh Chautala in South Delhi’s Chattarpur Enclave.

The Indian Express quoted a source, saying, "For the past month, he has been walking (inside the V-P’s official residence) and meeting his relatives and old friends at his residence. Today he came out to visit a doctor".
