Incidentally, Amit Shah will be sharing neighbourhood with Chief Justice of India Ranjan Gogoi. As bungalow no. 6A will be allotted to Amit Shah whereas bungalow no. 6 is the residence of CJI Ranjan Gogoi. Now the two most controversial people in their respective fields will be sharing neighbourhood.
