sir:

Do you have a receipt that he took your laptop? or Are you aware as to where did he mortgage the laptop?

Be as that it may, your best bet is to file a complaint with the police. You write that he induced you and laid a trap for you to hand over your laptop to him and now when you are asking it back he is refusing to return. The police immediately has to arrest him as the offence of criminal breach of trust u/s 406 IPC is cognizable.
