They were in captivity for almost a week.
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.
One of the leaders who Maoists want released is Ganti Prasad, lodged in the Bhubaneswar jail, and Shriramulu Shrinivas.
The bail plea of Ganti Prasad and four other jailed Maoists including Sireesha alias Padma (wife of top Maoist RamKrishna), Gokul Kuldipia, Rozy Mannangi and Andaluri Ishwari came up for hearing today. They had moved the High Court in Cuttack for bail on Monday.
Shriramulu Shrinivas was produced in a fast track court at Malkangiri for his bail plea on Monday.
The Malkangiri Collector and junior engineer were abducted from Malkangiri district last Wednesday (February16).
