The injured have been identified as Anita and Sumitra of Pipili area of Puri district.
An auto-rickshaw carrying Anita and Sumitra along with family members was heading towards Badambadi square from Link Road hiring an auto-rickshaw when the incident took place. A group of bike borne miscreants hurled country made bombs at a puja pandal located just a few metres away from the Badambadi Police Station and fled.
However, the bombs mistakenly fell on the auto-rickshaw and exploded, leaving the duo injured. They were immediately rushed to a nearby hospital for treatment.
Badambadi Police have launched a manhunt to nab the miscreants and raided a number of locations in the city since last night.
