Resumen

The police interview or interrogation, one of the major
tools of criminal investigation is no longer confined to pre-trial
investigations, but transcends to forensic labs and the Court
rooms of learned Judges. The investigators, forensic experts and
prosecutors need to act in synergy to improve the performance of
the Criminal justice system. In this backdrop, the article examines
the subject of interrogation on a broad canvass of constitutional
and legal parameters, police professionalism and evidentiary
value and human- civil rights issues. It underlines the need of the
lead actors of the criminal justice system properly understanding
certain myths and challenges connected with interrogation so
that they can better appreciate the evidence or inputs generated
through interrogation, at professional plane. It also discusses
as how the science and technology have become a major aid in
overcoming many bottlenecks in the traditional
methods of interrogation or police interview.
