BIRTH OF CBI Accordingly, the Government set up, vide Resolution st No. 4/31/61-T, dated 1 April, 1963, the Central Bureau of Investigation to investigate not only cases of bribery and corruption, but also violation of central fiscal laws, and serious crimes committed by organized gangs and thugs, besides collecting supporting intelligence, statistics of crime, and conducting Police research and making special studies, and so forth. The organization drew its power of investigation from the Delhi Special Police Establishment Act, 1946. Its sphere of activity (jurisdiction) was, also the same as defined by the DSPE Act, 1946, that is, Delhi territory (now State). It could, of course, go to other States also, but not without their consent. The number of offences, which the CBI was authorized to investigate was a shade wider than before : it could now deal with most of the major offences covered by Acts relating to corruption – 69 Central Acts and 14 State Acts, and 231 IPC offences. There was a change in the designation and rank of the Head of the CBI. He was called a Director now, and held the rank of Special Inspector-General (SIG) of Police. He was provided 'security of tenure’. Shri D.P. Kohli, the head of DSPE had the honour of being the first Director of CBI. For smooth and effective functioning, the organization was divided into six Divisions: (i) Investigation and Anti-Corruption Division; North Block, New Delhi corridor leading to Director, CBI office. 66 ....In Service of the Nation....
