You can not pledge any instrument which is of stolen nature or so since it is an unlawful object for consideration, as the case may be.
But if police is confiscating the said gold, they are bound to produce seizure certificate otherwise they can misappropiate the same.
yes, you can file a complaint to the magistrate in this regard.But ts better to inform and ask for appropiate actions from the senior officials first.
