# pass the PHP scripts to FastCGI server listening on 127.0.0.1:9000

}
# deny access to .htaccess files, if Apache's document root

}
}
Thanks in advance for your help !!! ;)

Since I did not get much feedback, after much trial and error, I got my solution!!
So am posting this, in case somebody may have similar issue.
It seems the issue here was the nginx site.conf file.
server {
listen 80;
listen [::]:80;
index index.php index.html;
server_name laradock.localhost;
error_log /var/log/nginx/error.log;
access_log /var/log/nginx/access.log;
root /usr/share/nginx/html;
location / {
autoindex on; #to list file in the directory if the index file is missing
}
#### this was where i was facing the issue, the php block
location ~ \.php$ {
try_files $uri =404;
fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;
fastcgi_pass php:9000;
fastcgi_index index.php;
include fastcgi_params;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
fastcgi_param PATH_INFO $fastcgi_path_info;
}
}
Another this to note is that nginx can have multiple .conf config files, and it dosent support .htaccess file like apache (the htaccess logic needs to be re-written to a .conf file in the nginx conf.d directory here)
The complete code for my solution can be found at this git repository
