The laws related to Extortion have been entailed in Section 383- 389 of IPC. The definition of ‘Extortion’ is given under Section 383 of IPC. Section 384 IPC contains the penalty for extortion whereas Section 385 of IPC entails the punishment for an attempt to commit extortion. It must be noted that Section 386 to 389 go on to the extent of discussing much harsher punishments for much-aggravated forms of extortion.
