===India=== The [[Constitution of India]] guarantees every person the right against self incrimination under Article 20 (3): "No person accused of any offence shall be compelled to be a witness against himself". It is well established that the Right against self incrimination has been granted to the accused by virtue of the pronouncement in the case of Nandini Sathpathy vs P. L. Dani, no one can forcibly extract statements from the accused, who has the right against self incrimination, not only in the court of law but also during interrogation.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://legalfly.in/nandini-satpathy-v-pldani-case-right-to-silence/#:~:text=P.L.%20Dani-,Nandini%20Satpathy%20v.,her%20position%20while%20in%20office | title=Nandini Satpathy V.
