About this stamp

Fifty Years of the CBI

India Post issued this ₹5 stamp on 11 November 2013 for the golden jubilee of the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), India’s premier investigating agency, set up in 1963. It traces its origins to the Special Police Establishment created in 1941 to investigate bribery and corruption; in 1965 its jurisdiction was widened to serious crimes under central laws, organised crime and international cases, and it is India’s point of contact with Interpol.

India Post has no brochure for this issue online, so this text draws on Wikipedia.
