Mumbai | A First Information Report has been registered against a 19-year-old woman here for allegedly harassing and kidnapping a 17-year-old boy after she developed one-sided attraction for him, police said on Friday.

The accused, identified as Sania, is absconding, said an official of Mankhurd police station.
