Asking for bribery whether in good or bad intention is itself an offence as per relevant section of The Indian Penal Code.As the department all inquiry is going on you have wait for the inquiry to end,then you would be called to say in your defence.If you file a defamation at this stage then it will mean that you are admitting the fact as a result you cannot say anything in your defence when the inquiry ends.
Thanks.
