I overheard this during some arguments of some eminent lawyers in court.
In 1943, During war period, massive corruption might have been noticed by British Government in Delhi governmen.
A special unit and staff was constituted to check this corruption.
The unit worked for many years.
Thereafter a need was felt to make these staff may be made permanent under some statue.
Therefore Delhi Police Act was enacted and these officers were put under it and CBI formally came into existence.
If this is true, then it can be said that ancestors of CBI were army officers.
