    Consider the following statements regarding the role of the 'Central Vigilance Commission' (CVC) and the anti-corruption framework in India:

    1. AOnly 1 and 2
    2. BOnly 2 and 3
    3. COnly 1 and 3
    4. D1, 2 and 3
    Answer and explanation

    Correct answer: C

    The CVC was set up in 1964 on the recommendation of the Santhanam Committee, so statement 1 is correct. It is an independent apex body and does not work under any 'Investigation Bureau', so statement 2 is wrong. Its Chairman and members are barred from holding any further office under the Central or State Government after retirement, making statement 3 correct.
