In the given situation, he might have filed sections for particular offences, kindly look into the same. Also, you can file a complaint against the said police officer for extortion by following the procedure given below:
A person wishing to file a complaint with the Authority should first contact the PCA office to obtain the prescribed format if any. Till date, with the exception of Orissa11, none of the authorities that are functioning have specified any particular format. A sample template form is included in Annex III of this booklet. The person can put the complaint in writing and send it by post or fax or submit it in person. The complaint should be made as soon as possible after the incident. The complaint should be in writing and must include:

Your Name;
Your Address; and
Your Contact details/ Phone numbers.
You then need to say:

What happened;
When it happened;
Who you are complaining about, which includes the name and designation of the police officer;
What was said or done;
Whether anyone else was there whilst the incident happened (witnesses) and how to contact them (if you know this); and
If you were hurt or if anything got damaged.
Some important and relevant documents which will add weight to your complaint can be attached along with the complaint. These documents can be:

Medical report or any certificate issued by a doctor disclosing the nature of injuries;
Photographs showing injuries;
Any prior complaints lodged before the police or any other forum and evidence which shows that no steps have been taken on these complaints;
Proof of daily diary entry (DDE); and
Any other evidence
If you hand deliver your complaint, keep a copy of the complaint and the papers you have submitted, as well as a date stamped receipt with you as a record. If you send your complaint by registered post, always ensure to send it by registered post AD. The acknowledgment received will give you proof of your application being sent and received by the Authority
