General theory of relativity proved that gravity does attract light ( photons ), what if I project a beam of light radially towards a black holes will it increases it's speed or not?

A gravitational source will bend the path of the photons, but it doesn't change its speed. So even if you shine it right at a black hole, its speed will remain c.

    This isn't true. See for example the two questions linked as duplicates that explain how and why gravitational fields do change the speed of light. – John Rennie Aug 05 '18 at 17:44
