Ex threatening to file a police complaint if I don't pay him


12-Nov-2026 (In Criminal Law)
My ex of 2 months from 2 years ago is threatening to file a police complain or demand money from my parents by showing at my house since he has my address from an ID proof. The said money was spent by him during the course of relationship on food, outing, gifts, etc. voluntarily and none of it was asked for and he has stated that there would be bad consequences for me if I don't pay him. Is he allowed to ask money back? Do his threats count as extortion? What should I do if he tries to escalate?

It appears to be a case of extortion. Assuming even if he spent money on things which was done voluntary and was not demanded by him at that relevant point of time, then same cannot be agitated in any form after a gap two years. You can explore legal remedies available under the law.
