A woman Congress candidate and her colleagues were allegedly abused and threatened by two persons at their election office in suburban Borivali, police said today.

The 227-seat Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) elections will be held tomorrow.

A case was registered against Chetan Parmar and Shivkumar Yadav on the complaint lodged by the Congress nominee Sheetal Mhatre.
