They can not stop your gratuity. You can submit copy of passport.

You need to get your case examined with complete detail with reference to your documents, as the company might be treating your absence as unauthorised absence and a double employment case, when you have not submitted any resignation and got releived formally before joining new job and that too in a foreign country.

The company might have decided to treat you dishonest and forfeit the gratuity.
You have committed blunder. Employee should not indulge in such acts and should consult elders in the family, competent and experienced well wishers, lawyer/law firm than acting on his own and in haste. You could have resigned before you left India.
Which leave you had applied: sick? Did you submit medical certificate?
Was your leave approved?
Don’t submit copy of passport or any other document or a statement in writing till it advised and drafted by your lawyer that has seen all of your docs and has analyzed your inputs.
If you did not join after the 3 months leave, your lawyer may opine that let them accept resignation from date the leave started.
Spend quality time with your lawyer and proceed under expert advice of your lawyer.
