One can file a divorce after living separately from his/her spouse for a minimum period of 1 year. So you can live separately for now. File a petition asking for maintainance from your husband meanwhile.

You should immediately file a police complaint under guidance of a legal professional and file domestic violence case against your husband.

Need more details to guide you to the right path. In detail of every incident on which complaint should be made.

According to Hindu Marriage Act you cannot file divorce within one year of ur marriage. But there is exception ,as per the provisions u/s 14 of the Hindu Marriage Act , divorce may be filed within one year of marriage. But your case is not exceptional so u have to wait for one year.
You can go for 498A .
