In India, there are rules in the Constitution and laws like the Code of Criminal Procedure and the Indian Evidence Act that protect the rights of people being investigated for crimes.
If someone is being questioned about a crime, they should realize they're seen as a suspect. It's important for them to be careful about what they say so they don't seem guilty and get into more trouble.
These rules and laws make sure that people being investigated are treated fairly and not mistreated just because they're suspected of a crime.
Rights under the Evidence Act:
1. **Section 24**: If an accused confesses to a crime because they were threatened or promised something, their confession may not be considered valid in court.
2. **Section 25**: Confessions made to the police are not accepted as evidence in court if they're trying to prove someone's guilt.
3. **Section 26**: Confessions made to the police are only valid if they're made in front of a Magistrate, not just to a police officer.
4. **Section 53**: A person's good character can be important in a criminal case.
