The Investiture Ceremony of the 23rd Batch of Sub-Inspector Cadets of Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) was today solemnized at its Academy in Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh. Director of CBI Rishi Kumar Shukla was the Chief Guest during the Ceremony. Speaking on this occasion he congratulated the cadets and said that the training was the most demanding test of intellectual and physical abilities of the cadets.
Director CBI Sh Shukla further stated that as the cadets celebrate the successful execution of this phase of their lives, they must remember that from now onwards, they have tremendous responsibilities on their shoulders. Shri Shukla further emphasized that at this juncture as they begin their career in CBI, their positive attitude and perseverance will play an important role in taking the glory of the organisation to new heights.
Shri Shukla observed that there have been many examples over the years where the aggrieved person(s)/victim(s) and their immediate relatives not being satisfied with the findings of a probe carried out by various investigating agencies, have sought the handing over of the probe to the CBI. This shows the strong faith of the public in the CBI, as an investigating agency which exemplifies integrity and impartiality.
