Statement by the accused or witness made to police are shut out by section 25 of the Evidence Act in case of an accused( unless section 27 of the evidence act is applied) and Section 162 of the Cr.PC in case of witnesses unless recorded as per procedure under section 164 of the Cr.PC. /The statements before the police can only be used for contradiction/affirmation of facts brought out in evidence during the trial.
