Chandigarh, March 4 (IANS) The Punjab government on Wednesday claimed that the state had become the first in the country to establish a Bureau of Investigation (BoI) bringing all investigation staff of different units under a unified command.

"Separate staff has been earmarked for investigations at all three levels," Badal told media persons, adding that the new wing would ensure professional and time-bound investigations.
He said the staff of this specialised wing will not be diverted for any other purpose.
Badal said the BoI would initially have 7,772 personnel on its rolls.
