The Central Bureau of Investigation traces its origin to theSpecial Police Establishment (SPE) which was set up in1941 by the Government of India. The functions of theSPE then were to investigate cases of bribery andcorruption in transactions with the War & Supply Deptt.Of India during World War II. Even after the end of theWar, the need for a Central Government agency toinvestigate cases of bribery and corruption by CentralGovernment employees was felt. The Delhi Special Police
Establishment Act was therefore brought into force in1946. The CBI's power to investigate cases is derived fromthis Act.
