Author Bio

Shantonu Sen, who retired as Joint Director CBI in 1996, prior to serving as an Officer on Special Duty to the Lieutenant Governor of Delhi and Advisor, Lieutenant Governor of Delhi, has been a prolific writer on matters of crime and punishment and a sought after television commentator in matters of criminal jurisprudence. 
He started off in life as an academic before being recruited by the Union Public Service Commission in 1963 to join the Special Police Establishment, set up in 1941. The Central Bureau of Investigation was just beginning to evolve from the Special Police Establishment then. At 83 (Born April 27, 1938),  he is amongst the very few super sleuths around to tell the complete story of  the birth and evolution of the CBI, its rise to professional excellence and, perhaps, the decline in its stature, courtesy the power of political influence. 
An expert equestrian and good hockey and tennis player, Shantonu Sen mastered the art of sleuthing over his varied postings and became a specialist in anti-terrorism and anti-corruption branches of the CBI. Besides, he set up the Sikkim Vigilance Force between 1979 and 1983 and served as its director. In 1989, he helped build the CBI Academy in Ghaziabad.
