The victims Friday night were passing by the main entrance of the Ncell mobile network operator company on the southern edge of Kathmandu when the blast happened.
The explosion startled the neighbourhood and shattered windows in nearby buildings.
Police have detained six people for questioning. No one has claimed responsibility.
The company is mostly owned by Malaysia-based Axiata Group Berhad.
