They are on their way to Malkangiri, sources said. The two were earlier shifted out of the location where they were held hostage.
The release came after three days of negotiations when the Orissa government accepted eight of the 14 demands of the Maoists. However, their main demand - the release of eight Maoists - is yet to be resolved.

Shriramulu Shrinivas was produced in a fast track court at Malkangiri for his bail plea on Monday.
