      Solution

      Self-incrimination is the act of implicating or exposing one’s own self to criminal prosecution. Article 20 (3) provides protection against self- incrimination and gives the accused the right to remain silent over any matter which tends to incriminate him. Article 20 (3) reads as - ‘No person accused of an offence shall be compelled to be a witness against himself’. It is based on the legal maxim  “nemo teneteur prodre accussare seipsum”,   which means “No man is obliged to be a witness against himself.”
