Question

Q. 3- Why do you think there is a rule that confessions made during police custody cannot be used as evidence against the accused?​

Answer 1

Explanation:

The reason is that police can force an accused to give a false statement, maybe by beating him up, or by other ways. Thus courts dont accept confessions made in custody, since they can be biased

Answer 2

If confessions to police were allowed to be proved in evidence, the police would torture the accused and thus force him to confess to a crime which he might not have a committed and these types of confessions can be caused by inducement, threat or promise having reference to the charge and proceeding from a person in authority. A confession so obtained would naturally be unreliable.
