Prosecution failed to prove the first essential element of extortion — that the accused intentionally put the named complainant in fear — because the complainant and the Chinese passenger were not called, the viral video was not admitted or formally translated, eyewitnesses at scene did not observe the accused demanding or receiving money and one eyewitness could not identify the accused; investigatory omissions prejudiced the defence; therefore no prima facie case existed and the accused must be acquitted.
