Statment u/s 161 of Cr.P.C made before police officials is binding upon the parties/accused/witness. What is the legal validity of statment u/s 161 in trial?

The prosecution will bring the witnesses during the trial and before the judge get the same statements recorded. The accused tries to show the contradictions between the statements made in U/s. 161 and the statements made before the judge. If he succeeds, he will be acquitted.
