CBI upgrading Crime Manual to better tackle corruption and cyber crime

To investigate new age crimes better, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) is in the process of upgrading the CBI Crime Manual 2005. This manual dictates the working of the investigative agency. Prior to the 2005 edition, the manual was earlier revised in 1991.

The proposed revision in the manual is expected to help the investigative agency better tackle and investigate new age crimes such as cyber crimes, it is learnt.

“We need to upgrade the CBI Crime Manual, 2005, to bring it in line with the legislative and legal developments that have happened since. We hope to finalise the revised manual by the end of 2019,” a top CBI official said.
