Bengali term or phrase: তিনি চাঁদাবাজির মামলা দায়ের করেন, পুলিশ চাঁদাবাজকে গ্রেপ্তার করে
চাঁদা generally means subscription, payment, donation, contribution, membership fee etc. But চাঁদাবাজি means demanding and collecting money with threat. I need a single and suitable English word for চাঁদাবাজি (and also for চাঁদাবাজ)৷

Thank you!
