In 2013, Supreme Court criticised politicians for using VVIP security and directed all state governments to provide details of security given to its political leaders and the expenditure it involves. It directed that security should be given to the PM, President, Vice President, Speaker, Chief Justice of India and similar counterparts in the states. The SC also criticised DCP Mangesh Kashyap for filing an affidavit that stated security to people holding higher posts is necessary to enable them to take “bold and impartial decisions. check sources NDTV The SC said,
How our judgement beckoned bold due to security. That’s the level of understanding of the IPS officer.”
In 2016, a conflict arose between the AAP (Aam Aadmi Party) administration and the BJP-controlled Municipal Corporations of Delhi (MCDs) when the AAP refused to accept the Union Home Ministry’s decision to appoint Mangesh Kashyap (from the DANIPS 1995 batch) as the Chief Vigilance Officer (CVO) of the South Delhi Municipal Corporation (SDMC). The BJP-controlled MCD had chosen Kashyap for the position, while the Arvind Kejriwal-led Delhi government had proposed the appointment of Bhajani Ram Meena, an IPS officer from the 1997 batch, as the CVO. However, the South Delhi Municipal Corporation rejected the Delhi Government’s proposal to appoint B R Meena as the CVO, leading to a dispute. Eventually, after receiving clearance from the Central Vigilance Commission (CVC), Mangesh Kashyap assumed the role of CVO on 4 July 2016.
In an interview, he shared his fondest memory as a Civil Servant, and said,
There are many such fond memories. However, the best memory was from my initial days when I had managed to crack a very sensational case. Three people were murdered along with the school principal. The principal was killed in front of the entire class. There was a lot of hue and cry. I managed to catch the culprit. It was a rewarding experience.”
In 2023, while serving as DCP-RP Bhawan, he was promoted and transferred to the position of Additional CP-Security in the Delhi Police.
A skilled pianist, Kashyap loves to play Hindi songs on the piano in his leisure time.
