The bungalows are located on Gurudwara Rakabganj Road, next to Parliament House. “These bungalows have since been combined into one in the name of Bahujan Prerna Trust, according to documents available under RTI in response to an application filed by activist S C Agrawal,” said the report. According to the report, there has been unauthorized construction of rooms, an office, toilet, kitchen and a “fibre sheet covering an area of 238 sq m” in Bungalow No 12" which is allotted to the Bahujan Prerna Trust. Agarwal has sought a probe into the allotment of multiple bungalows to Mayawati.
