You can file a confidential complaint with cybercrime cell. Police have options to act discreetly. Also, block him and save all threats as evidence. Extortion and blackmail are serious crimes. Contact women’s helpline or cyber experts, they will guide you without involving your family unless absolutely needed. Don't pay money as it encourages abuse.
