He is a scholar in Sanskrit and always loved to participate in religious gatherings. Moreover, he is a good play back singer. He has an album of religious songs to his credit.
Pandey is known to be a religious person visiting several temples frequently. Not only this angle of his created ripples but also his opting for VRS to contest in the assembly elections.
On the contrary, he was denied a ticket by the BJP. He then returned to the Police headquarters after seven months. he served as IG and ADG before promoted as DGP.
His ‘Katha Vachan’ is unique because he gives tips to people about several sections of IPC during his religious discourses.
