It is illegal for the police to attack any human being including women. Hence the said act of the police is punishable. Normal penal provisions in the Indian Penal Code will apply depending upon the intensity of the injury and assault.

You have several options.
1) File a complaint with the police station or with the superior police officers.
2) File a private complaint under section 200 of Crpc.
3) File a compliant before the State Human Rights commission of the concerned state.
4) You can file a compliant with National Commission for women preferably online.
