Under which section of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 is an accused punishable for putting a person…

Section 308(4) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 (formerly section 387 IPC) punishes whoever, in order to commit extortion, puts or attempts to put any person in fear of death or of grievous hurt to that person or to any other, with imprisonment up to seven years and fine, so "Section 308(4)" is the answer. Section 308(5) requires that extortion actually be committed by putting a person in such fear, which the question does not state; section 308(1) only defines extortion; and section 307 concerns theft after preparation made for causing death, hurt or restraint. The general offence of putting a person in fear of any injury in order to commit extortion is in section 308(3).
