I would suggest that you make a written complaint about this case to the vigilance authorities mentioned in the website of the Ministry of External affairs at</p>
<p>
http://passport.gov.in/</p>
<p>
The status of your application can also be checked there. Please also file an RTI application with the Passport office to find out what has happened to your application. Please mention to the police that you know your rights and that you will complain to higher authorities if they demand a bribe. There are several instances reported in our -I didnt pay a bribe section where citizens have successfully resisted demands for bribes for the issue of passports and for the police verification. It is only if we stand up and be firm about not paying a bribe, that things will change.</p>
