Hi
Your girl friend can file the complaint at the nearest woman police station against the boy under the following sections :
1) 500 of the IPC, which deals with defamation.
2) Sections 66E, 67, 67A of the Information Technology Act: publishing of private images of a person without his or her consent., publishing and circulation of what the act calls 'obscene' or 'lascivious' content

Punishment
1) 500 IPC- simple imprisonment for a term which may extend to two years, or with fine, or with both.
2) Sections 66E, of the Information Technology Act
For violating the privacy of that person, shall be punished with imprisonment which may extend to three years or with fine not exceeding two lakh rupees, or with both.
3) Sections 67, 67A of the Information Technology Act : On first conviction with imprisonment of either description for a term which may extend to five years and with fine which may extend to ten lakh
