The case was registered at the Kadim Jalna police station.
"BJP councillor Sandhya Dethe was on her way when the two men accosted her and asked why she was exposing the irregularities in the JMC. They also threatened her with dire consequences if she did not refrain from her act," an official said.
Ms Dethe, who is also the district president of the women's wing of the party, lodged a complaint against them.
