If it is central Govt official demanding bribe then go to the site of CBI, locate nearest office and contact them. No other way.

by birth itself you got citizenship.. also your parents also living in india past 40 years.. if you live in india just 5 years mean you are eligible to claim citizenship., but in your case you are living past 40 years., just apply for change your nationality as indians., if they make unwanted delay mean approach your high court by a writ petition.

You have a fit case. It is advised to obtain the status of your application by using RTI Act. If any objection is raised over your application then it can be got corrected legally so obtain their way in writing by RTI and then post your query in this site.
