Along with this, the agency will also investigate cases related to employees of Central Public Sector Undertakings. If the person is accused of committing a crime in collaboration with central employees or employees of central undertakings, then investigation can also be done against them.
Which cases will CBI not be able to investigate?
CBI cannot directly investigate in the cases of state government employees under the control of West Bengal Government, in such cases CBI will have to first obtain written permission from the state government. Even though CBI will have to take permission from the state government for cases, this big decision of West Bengal should be welcomed.
