At first sight, The condition of the exemption is "the residential accommodation occupied by the assesse" the Bhubneshwar house is not in your occupation and therefore, exemption not available.
You can make it a case to fight. File the return claim rent of house you are living in. After Assessment file 154 with reason that you have missed to claim rent paid for another house occupied by you by store your all belongings etc.
