Section 161(3) has been amended with a proviso which enables 161 statement taken by the police to include recording by audio, video or electronic means. Thus legal sanction has been accorded to the preparation of an electronic record of the statement of witnesses under S.161 in the CrPC, in keeping with changes in the Indian Evidence Act and Information Technology Act, 2000.
Section 164(1) has also been amended by permitting electronic recording by audio-video means of the statement/confession recorded under the section before a magistrate as long as it is in the presence of the advocate of the person accused of an offence.
Section 275 which deals with recording of evidence of witnesses in warrant cases has been amended providing for the evidence to be recorded by audio/video means in the presence of the advocate of the person accused of the offence
