A threatens to injure the reputation of Z’s deceased father, in whom Z is interested, intending to cause alarm to Z. Which BNS offence expressly includes such a threat?

Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer A

The Explanation to section 351 includes a threat to the reputation of a deceased person in whom the threatened person is interested, and the intent to cause alarm supplies the mental element, so the offence is "Criminal intimidation." "Completed extortion even without any induced delivery." is wrong because completed extortion requires dishonest inducement and delivery, and "Theft." and "Mischief to property." do not fit the facts.
