      You can approach the Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) or Vigilance Police [or CBI, if you are an accused in a case filed by CBI] of your state and lodge a complaint against the Public Prosecutor who is demanding bribe from you to favour you. On the basis of your complaint, the ACB will lay a trap to catch the culprit red-handed while demanding and accepting bribe. Taking bribe is an offence under the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988.

      You can easily get information about the contract numbers of the ACB officers in your state from their website by searching on Google.
