Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI)

Subject: Polity

Book: Indian Polity by M. Laxmikanth

The premier investigative agency in India, initially formed under the DSPE Act, 1946, to probe corruption in central government departments. Over time, it expanded to investigating serious crimes like murder, terrorism, or financial fraud, sometimes taking up cases at states’ requests or by court orders. While the CBI is highly reputed, its autonomy is frequently questioned—often called the “caged parrot.” It operates under the Department of Personnel and Training, with the Director appointed through a collegium. High-profile cases highlight its role in unraveling complex corruption or scams, making it integral to maintaining public trust in the rule of law.
