Скачать или смотреть What Does "I Plead the Fifth" Mean? | Article 20(3) vs Fifth Amendment | India vs USA Law

🎬 You’ve probably heard the line “I plead the Fifth” in courtroom dramas like Suits or How to Get Away with Murder.

But what does it actually mean?

In the United States, the Fifth Amendment gives citizens the right to remain silent — meaning, if answering a question could make them seem guilty, they can legally refuse to answer.

But here’s the interesting part — India also has a similar law!
According to Article 20(3) of the Indian Constitution,

“No person accused of an offence shall be compelled to be a witness against himself.”

In simple terms, an accused person in India also has the right to stay silent and cannot be forced to give evidence against themselves.

So next time you hear someone say, "I plead the Fifth,"
Remember — India has Article 20(3)!
