When Anjali received a call from the local police, her heart raced. She was told to appear for questioning in relation to a corporate fraud case—shocking, because she had nothing to do with it. Confused and anxious, she called OZG Lawyers.
At OZG, Advocate Maya listened carefully. “Anjali, remember this—Article 20(3) of the Constitution of India protects you. You cannot be compelled to be a witness against yourself.”
Anjali’s eyes widened. “So I can stay silent?”
“Exactly,” Maya said - "The police can’t force you to confess. You have the right to remain silent and to have a lawyer present at all times. Say nothing that can be twisted later. Your silence is your shield.”
The next day, Anjali entered the interrogation room with Maya beside her. The officers asked sharp questions, trying to corner her. But guided by Maya, she calmly replied, “I choose not to answer without legal counsel.”
The session ended with no confession. No tricks worked. Later, it was revealed that the actual perpetrator was someone else entirely. Anjali had narrowly escaped being wrongly implicated—all because she asserted her fundamental right.
At OZG Lawyers, we believe in empowering citizens with knowledge. Knowing your rights isn’t just smart—it’s your legal armor.
