The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) is India’s premier investigating agency, established in 1941 as the Special Police Establishment (SPE) to investigate cases of bribery and corruption in the country during World War II. After India gained independence in 1947, the SPE was renamed the Central Bureau of Investigation and given expanded jurisdiction to investigate cases of corruption and economic offenses.
Initially, the CBI was part of the Ministry of Home Affairs, but in 1963 it was transferred to the Ministry of Personnel, Public Grievances and Pensions. The CBI has a reputation for being a professional and independent investigating agency, responsible for investigating high-profile cases of corruption, economic offenses, and other crimes at the national level.
