You file written complaint in the court of Judicial Magistrate Class 1 against your wife and in laws for theft of various important documents like your certificates and Passport.
The Passport is not your property as you are just holder of the passport, and it is the property of Government of India. The Magistrate on your complaint will direct the Police to register FIR against these people.
At one time removing your certificate by your wife can be excused but the property of government of India, namely your passport will not be excused. If the Police authorities of your localities not having the knowledge of law than court/judicary is there to deal with them.
