Custodial Interrogation
Questioning of an accused person carried out while they are in police custody, as opposed to being free or on bail.
Custodial interrogation refers to police questioning an accused while holding them in custody, generally considered necessary in the early stages of certain investigations to recover evidence, weapons, or unearth further facts that only the accused would know.
Courts weigh whether custodial interrogation is genuinely required as one of the key factors in deciding a bail application, particularly anticipatory bail.
