CENTRAL BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION |
During
World War-II, the Government of India realised that vast increase in
expenditure for war efforts provided opportunities to unscrupulous and
anti-social persons, both officials and non-officials, for indulging in bribery
and corruption at the cost of public and the Government. It was felt that
Police and other Law Enforcement Agencies under the State Governments could not
cope with the situation. An executive order was, therefore, passed by the
Government in 1941, establishing Special
Police Establishment - SPE to investigate cases of bribery and corruption. End
of 1942, the activities of the SPE were extended to include cases of corruption
on Railways. In 1943, through an Ordinance, Government of India, constituted a
Special Police Force for the investigation of certain offences committed in
connection with the departments of the Central Government committed anywhere in
British India. This ordinance was replaced by Delhi Special Police
Establishment Ordinance of 1946 and Delhi Special Police Establishment Act,
1946. As on date, CBI has the following Divisions: Anti Corruption Division,
Economic Offences Division, Special Crimes Division, Directorate of
Prosecution, Administration Division, Policy and Coordination Division and
Central Forensic Science Laboratory. Its emblem depicts a golden coloured wreath encircling the
coveted Ashoka lion pillar in gold. The words ‘Central Bureau of Investigation’
in white is blue banner with gold border. Beneath, in a golden borderd red
banner, is emblazoned the motto of this force
‘Industry, Impartiality, Integrity’.
