Data on Corruption Cases
CBI conducts searches at various places
from time to time during investigation in accordance with law, depending upon
the requirement of the cases. The number of raids/searches conducted are a part
of individual case record. No centralized data in this regard is maintained.
Further, sending an accused, convicted in a case, to Jail after conviction is a
judicial act performed by the trial court concerned. No centralized data in
this regard is maintained by the CBI. However, the number of Prevention of
Corruption (PC) Act cases registered by CBI during the last 3 years i.e. 2011,
2012, 2013 and 2014 (upto 31.05.2014) is as under:-
