Can I pay interest on the Rs 2500 I paid to the verification officer?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Darulifta-Deoband.com
I had applied passport for my wife long back. I got transfer to Hyderabad and my family came with me.We contacted verification officer at police station that my wife won’t be there during verification. He told me to submit all required documents and also demanded Rs 5000/- ,since they will take of my wife’s absence during verification. I paid Rs 2500/- to the officer and verification was done successfully. Please let me know whether I can pay interest amount to pay this amount.
