A finds B’s briefcase and writes to him that he will give it on payment of Rs 500. B pays Rs 500. Is A guilty of extortion?
A is not liable for any offence.
A will be liable for extortion.
A is liable for criminal misappropriation.
None of the above.
If B does not pay then A will be liable for attempt to commit extortion and also for criminal misappropriation if he does not return the briefcase. Hence the correct option is b.
