PWD said that the offer of allotment is subject to the following including, "the said house is under investigation of CBI/ other agencies for various violations, the allottee is advised to extend full cooperation in the investigation, as may be required,".

A row erupted after AAP accused BJP-led Centre of evicting Atishi from the CM House and forcibly removing her belongings. The L-G Office, however, has rubbished the allegations, saying that Ms. Atishi kept her belongings before the bungalow was allotted to her, and she removed them. This comes after the AAP national convenor vacated his CM bungalow after resigning as the Chief Minister.
