Country's premier investigating agency CBI is grappling with acute shortage of manpower as over 900 posts of executive officers, including that of special directors, joint directors and DIGs, are lying vacant for many years.

Besides this, a huge number of technical staff, law officers, support staff and others are needed.

According to CBI data, out of the 4,490 sanctioned posts at executive officers level, about 3,575 are filled.

Among the 915 vacancies, 211 are at the sub-inspector level. The agency also needs 199 inspectors, 177 constables, 97 deputy superintendents of police and 96 head constables.

Other than these, the agency requires 35 superintendents of police, 10 deputy inspectors general of police, four senior superintendents of police, two special directors/additional directors and two joint directors. There are 82 other vacant posts in the category.

A total of 149 posts of law officer, including additional legal adviser, deputy legal adviser, senior public prosecutor, out of the sanctioned strength of 302 are vacant in the agency, the data said.

However, 46 special prosecutors/assistant special prosecutors have been engaged on contract basis for a period of three years as a stop gap arrangement against the vacant posts of prosecutors.
