The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) is the domestic crime investigating agency of India.[4][5] It operates under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Personnel, Public Grievances and Pensions. Originally set up to investigate bribery and governmental corruption, in 1965 it received expanded jurisdiction to investigate breaches of central laws enforceable by the Government of India, multi-state organised crime, multi-agency or international cases.[6] CBI is exempted from the provisions of the Right to Information Act.[7] CBI is India's officially designated single point of contact to act as the liaison with Interpol.[8] The CBI headquarter is located in CGO Complex, near Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in New Delhi.
