Solution

The confession of an accused taken during police custody cannot be used against him in a court of law because the accused might be forced to confess the truth. He might be beaten and physically tortured in the police custody to confess his crime. Sometimes the accused in order to get rid of torture might confess the crime which he might not have committed.
