Tell me about Section 388 in Chapter 17 related to 'Extortion by threat of accusation of an offence punishable with death or imprisonment for life, etc.'
Section 388 deals with extortion committed by putting any person in fear of an accusation of having committed or attempted to commit an offence punishable with death, imprisonment for life, or imprisonment for a term up to ten years. The punishment for this offence is imprisonment of either description for a term that may extend to ten years, and the offender may also be liable to a fine. If the offence is punishable under Section 377, the offender may be punished with imprisonment for life.
