New Delhi, Dec 5 (PTI) The Centre has notified rules for inducting officers for 122 posts of superintendent of police in the CBI, increasing the number of officers on deputation from services other than the Indian Police Service from 15 to 18.

The new rules give scope to the CBI for inducting more SPs from non-police organisations on deputation to make it a more multidisciplinary agency for a better understanding of financial matters, an official said.
