Paid bribe to get my work done

Reported on December 1, 2016 from Chennai , Tamil Nadu  ι Report #137617

Place: Chennai, Koyambedu.
Date : 01.Dec.2016.
Time : 16:30
Person against whom the complaint is raised: Mr.Subramani. (Patta Clerk), LRD and Lady Clerk.
I had applied for the patta transfer of the property that we purchased last year. I was asked to pay 1000 Rs extra for quick processing of my file. I refused and then when he told that my file will be kept aside, I paid him a bribe of Rs.500 and told him once the work is over, I'll pay him. Finally it was not done from more than 3 months. When I asked them the status, they told I have to reapply. So I had reapplied on 11-11-2016. Today I got everything done. The Patta Clerk Mr.Subramani, asked me to give some amount and take the document from a lady clerk. The LRD( Land Record Draughtsman) also asked me to give him some money for doing the work. I gave him 100Rs. He asked me which age I am in and asked me to give 300Rs to him and Rs.200 to a lady clerk. I was afraid that if I don't pay the bribe, then they'll ask me to come back again repeatedly and tell them that the document is not ready. I had no other option other than giving the money they demanded.
Is there any way that an action will be taken on these govt employees.
