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.
The BoI will be headed by a director, of additional Director General of Police rank.
