Recording audio/video statement in 498a

When police arrests the husband and in laws in 498a cases, the accused may, out of fear , in police station admit openly that they took dowry.
If the police or the enemy wife/her advocate/her relatives secretly record them giving the statement using an audio or video device, then can that recording be used as evidence against the accused in court?

What can the husband and in laws do?

पुलिस के सामने या पुलिस स्टेशन में दिए गया कोई भी बयाँ कोर्ट में मान्य नहीं है !उस बयाँ की सार्थकता पर कोर्ट यकीं नहीं करता है इसलिए अगर उस बयाँ को कोई रिकॉर्ड भी कर ले तो उसकी सबूतिक भार नहीं होगा !

In a recent case, charges implicated under 498(A) against a Delhi based family were quashed by HC, they had footages of their daughter-in-law doing completely opposite of what she tried to portray in the complaint. HC took cognizance and quashed the proceedings against the family. I did read about it and I am sure such an evidence is a startling one and matters.

Yes! They secretly recorded her while she was at her abusive best and sabotaged herself and further presented those burn marks trying to indict her in laws. Court took cognizance of this fact and not only quashed but also reprimanded/warned her of any such action in future. However, that woman today is still scouting free as a bee!
