Oxford Dictionary gives
the meaning as a person whose occupation is to investigate and solve crimes.
Crime is an illegal act for which punishment may be given by the government.
That may be reason Indian writer Satyajith Ray gave his detective a wider scope
by giving the character a claim as he is a Satyanweshi: meaning seeker of
truth. So a Satyanweshi can solve anything that leads to truth, and that need
not necessarily be a crime.
