A.Hello Sir,
It is a non- bailable offence and cannot be compounded. Section 384 IPC reads as under: “Whoever commits extortion shall be punished with imprisonment of either description for a term which may extend to three years, or with fine, or with both.” Section 385 IPC deals with the punishment for an attempt of extortion.

A.Hi client,

Yes you have committed a very mistake. It's an offence in the eyes if the law. If you have a fear that you can be arrested, you should apply for anticipatory bail.
Better consult and advocate from your local jurisdiction who can help you after listening to the entire story.
