Because it's not telling you WHICH interrogation. There's only one interrogation, and it's giving you additional information about it.
Side note: This is actually the same as the difference between "that" and "which".
The interrogation that is being conducted by three officers→This tells you which interrogation the speaker means
The interrogation, which is being conducted by three officers→This gives you additional information about an interrogation that there is only one of, or that you already know of, or that can't be replaced with another one in context.
