The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) plans to turn itself into a multi-disciplinary agency by opening its closely guarded doors to chartered accountants, audit specialists and analysts. Speaking exclusively to All India Radio , the outgoing CBI director A P Singh today said, the government has agreed to the CBI's proposal to bring specialists to the agency on deputation in cracking cases speedily and improve probe quality.

Mr Singh who demits office tomorrow said, CBI's employee strength should be doubled to handle complex cases. Mr Singh said the allegations of CBI functioning at the behest of government pressure are totally baseless. Saying checking corruption forms an important part of CBI functioning, Mr Singh said during his tenure school children were called to visit the CBI headquarter. Mr Singh said, children in turn would influence their parents, relatives and begin an informal movement against corrupt practices in daily life.
