Bribed to get a passport

- Police Verification for Passport
- Paid INR 500
I applied for a passport at PSK Lucknow, UP on 11th Aug 2014. Now, I also got enrolled for a SMS service. I got a SMS that the file has been send to the SP office District Lucknow for the initiation of the police verification. Please contact the SP office if not done in 12 days. Now after 15 days, on 26th Aug 2014, a person came from the Local Intelligence Unit (LIU), He asked me Rs 500/- as "service charge". I had only Rs 350/- which I gave him. The police verification is still due and the people around have told me that they also ask for the same amount. More importantly, that LIU person told me that if you need the verification to be done faster, then contact "XYZ" person at the Thana on Saturday.... etc. What can I do, I have to pay a bribe and I am waiting for another such event. I can not write on the Grievance option at the Passport.gov.in as there, I have to give all my particulars and the file number. If I file a grievance, I am scared that the UP police will take a revenge. If they openly ask money, then what is the guarantee that the grievance will be addressed in a positive manner?
