Your relationship falls under live in relation. Hence you can file a complaint before police station for the said harassment keep medical certificate and any other evidences which will help for your claim. If he continues even after police complaint means you can file Domestic Violence case against him under Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act 2005 and Rules 2006. You should have evidences to prove that you are in live-in relationship with your boyfriend otherwise it is very difficult to prove the live-in relations before court.

He cant file a case against your for mental harassment. The grounds for divorce wont attract here unless you are married. Please proceed immediately if you desire to file a case against him.
