If what you say is true, you would have to seek the help of the Police. You will have to visit the Police station and narrate your story to them. Ensure that you miss out on nothing. It would be better if you write your complaint on paper. The Police will register an fir on your husband and inlaws,

If possible can you narrate the Domestic violence that took place inside the four walls of the bedroom and how would you prove it in court . Has there been any FIR registered and do you have a Medical certificate to prove the same that domestic violence occured . As a matter of fact taking of dowry and giving of dowry are both crimes .

With reference to the fixed deposits of 10 lacs as they are in joint names file an application with the bank that they have been misplaced or lost and that you require them to issue new ones thay would oblige . As they are in joint names neither you nor your husband can withdraw them and both signatures would be required to withdraw them .

By the way whats your objective do you want to continue with the marriage or do you want to part ways . If you want to part ways you can opt for MCD by talking to your husband and part away peacefully and in the MCD itself request for the oranaments to be returned as well as the FD's. There is no point fighting court battles for years togather wasting your time  and draining yourself financially  .

Stanley's comments need pondering. If your husband and inlaws have illtreated you/demanded dowry, your only option to seek redress is through our legal system. You would have to file a police complaint, giving them all facts and also provide the police with medical certificates in case you have been assaulted by any one of them or by all. If they have not illtreated you but only married you for money and then dumped you, still you could file a complaint against them for misrepresentation and fraud etc. Further charges could also be levelled, but only after all facts are known.
