'A' obtained a sum of Rs. 10,000/- from 'B' by putting 'B' in fear of death. Which one of the following…

Obtaining money by intentionally inducing fear of death is extortion under IPC section 383 and attracts the aggravated provision in section 386. Extortion becomes robbery under section 390 only with the additional requirements of the offender’s presence, fear of instant harm and then-and-there delivery. Those extra facts are not stated, so extortion is the supported offence.

Current law: For offences from 1 July 2024 the BNS generally replaces the IPC; earlier conduct remains governed by the applicable IPC law. BNS section 308 retains extortion, including its death-or-grievous-hurt aggravation; robbery is separately defined in section 309.
