You can opt any or both of them. If you have interest in law as well as psychology you can become a Forensic/Criminal psychologist. You can do M.A. Psychology (criminology/forensic) regular programme and simultaneously LL.B. Distance learning from different University. Although law degree is completely optional to become a criminal psychologist, but having knowledge of law will help you in the profession. After completing M.A. Complete M.Phil or Ph.D. and get yourself registered with RCI. Or You can simply be a clinical psychologist, pathway to it remains same, you just choose Clinical psychology as a major in your BA/MA programs (No knowledge of Law is required) and complete M.Phil or Ph.D. and get registered by RCI. Or you can opt for LL.B. (regular)and then complete LL. M. get yourself registered with BAR council and become a lawyer. Both the occupations are regulated, need time and dedication hence choose the stream in which you have most interest.
