CBI

Central Bureau Investigation is India’s top-notch agency that investigates very severe cases from all over the country. This organization comes under the Ministry of Personnel, Public Grievances and Pensions of the Federal government, which is further headed by a Cabinet Minister who is directly reportable to the Prime Minister. Currently, M Nageshwar Rao is the interim director of the CBI.

This investigative agency was found in 1941 by the Government of India as the Special Police Establishment. Back then its prime duties were to investigate corruption and bribery transactions that happened during World War II in the War and Supply Department of India.

It was founded by D. P. Kohli, who acted as the director of CBI the office from April 1, 1963 to May 31, 1968.

CBI also has an Anti-Corruption Division that has successfully handled cases against Chief Ministers, Ministers, Government Secretaries, CMDs of Banks, Financial Institutions and so on.

The CBI has been criticized for being a "caged parrot speaking in its master's voice", by the Supreme Court of India. This claim was made because of its excessive political interference irrespective of which the party governing at the center.
