You are in police custody after you have been informed that you are placed under arrest. Until you have been informed that you have been placed under arrest, you have the right to leave whenever you wish.

For Miranda rights, you are considered in police custody (and therefore Miranda applies to you) when you reasonably believe that you are being detained without the right to leave. Because of this all police have a procedure that requires the officer questioning you to tell you that you are being questioned and you are free to leave

Difference between judicial custody and police custody?

When a person is given in police custody, he remains in custody of police, i.e. in police lock-up. Police custody can not be given beyond 15 days except where there is special provision to grant PC for more than 15 days. Police has unfettered powers to interrogate the accused in police custody in a lawful manner. Whereas in judicial custody, the accused technically remains in the custody of the magistrate. He can be kept in jail or other place of safety. Police can not interrogate the accused without permission of the magistrate if the accused is in judicial custody.
