Please immediately file an FIR against the employer, handover the documents to the police you have to show your employee relation with the accused. Also submit emails if any addressed by you to the accused asking for your dues most importantly your passport.

Hi! Confiscating somebody's passport, for any reason, is illegal in India. Therefore, you can retrieve your passport by registering an FIR, and pursuing with police authorities. If that fails, file a criminal case. You can get your dues of $4125 by filing a civil case, and also registering a case of fraud, cheating, etc.
