IT Explains ? 8 months agoWhat Is 'Right To Remain Silent'? How Does It Work In India?The right to remain silent, rooted in the Fifth Amendment of the US Constitution, protects individuals from self-incrimination during interactions with law enforcement. In India, this right is implicit under Article 20(3) of the Constitution, which prohibits compelling an accused person to be a witness against themselves. While India does not have a formal Miranda Warning, individuals can refuse to answer questions that may incriminate them, seek legal counsel, and refrain from volunteering information. These protections ensure fair treatment and uphold the principle of innocence until proven guilty.
