Overview

• Home Minister Amit Shah told ANI that Jagdeep Dhankhar resigned for personal health reasons and dismissed opposition claims of confinement or political pressure.
• Since July 21, Dhankhar has largely remained inside his Delhi residence, seldom entering the attached office complex or using the vice-presidential carcade, and has not been responding to calls or texts.
• Members of his staff describe a quiet routine of morning yoga, evening table tennis and OTT viewing, with daughter Kamna Vajpayee visiting almost daily from Gurugram.
• His wife, Sudesh Dhankhar, has made private trips to Jaipur to oversee two commercial buildings on family land, traveling in a newly purchased car instead of official vehicles.
• Jaipur Development Authority records show approvals for the two complexes in Sudesh and Kamna’s names in April 2023 and February 2024, and staff say the family has begun packing while awaiting a former V-P bungalow allotment.
