The internet is not a lawyer and neither are you.
Talk to a real lawyer about your legal issue.

No you cannot claim reliefs of return of Istridhan/dowry/articles of personal use in the divorce proceedings.
For recovering of Istridhan from your husband and in laws, you need to file a complaint with the Women Cell which will ultimately culminate into an FIR under Section 498A/406/34 of the Indian Penal Code,1860.
You can also file a complaint case under Section 12 of the the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act,2005 praying for various reliefs.
Furthermore, you can claim maintenance from your husband under Section 24 of the Hindu Marriage Act,1955 during the pendency of the divorce proceedings and under Section 125 of the Code of Criminal Procedure,1973.
