The Department of Criminal Intelligence (DCI), formerly the Central Criminal Intelligence Department, was the central foreign and domestic intelligence agency of the Government of India during the British Raj. It was established by Lord Curzon, the then Viceroy of India,[1] based on the Indian Police Commission report submitted on 30 May 1903 under the chairmanship of Andrew Henderson Leith Fraser, which examined and recommended reforms in Indian police system. Sir Harold Stuart was appointed as the first director of DIC.[2] Curzon also established a provincial equivalent agency, the Central Investigation Department (CID) in all provinces of British India.[1]
