One person was killed in an explosion inside a house in the Ghattekulo residential area in the heart of the city.
The second blast claimed the lives of two other people and occurred near a hairdresser's in the Sukedhara area on the outskirts of the city.
A further five injured people have been rushed to a local hospital.
One witness said: “I heard a big noise and rushed to the spot to find the walls of a house had developed cracks due to the impact of the blast.”
Another citizen, who saw the blast in the Sukedhara region said it had shattered the door and window panes of the shop.
The area has since been sealed off by the army.
No one has claimed responsibility for either of the explosions.
However Mr Gyawali, the Nepali police official, said he suspects the attack could be the work of a splinter group of former Maoist rebels.
The group are opposed to the government for arresting its supporters.
Nepal emerged from a decade-long Maoist civil war in 2006 and the main group of the former rebels has joined the party that runs the government.
The breakaway group of former rebels carried out a similar blast in Kathmandu in February in which one person was killed and two others were injured.

 Some Liverpool players found it was in the evening when their minds tended to wander. It was then, once the children were in bed or training was done, that their thoughts would drift to the Champions League: back to Kiev, forward to Madrid, lingering on what might have been, and what could yet be. Others were caught when they were most vulnerable: as they went to sleep, or as they woke up, those moments either side of consciousness, when you cannot help yourself. For them, as one member of Jürgen Klopp’s squad put it, Saturday’s final against Tottenham has been “the last thing you think about at night and the first thing you think about in the morning.” [Sign up for Rory Smith’s weekly newsletter on world soccer: Rory Smith on Soccer .] Some chased the thoughts away, dismissing them as a waste of energy, a drain on the nerves.

Three years ago, when Iran's military captured 10 US sailors after they mistakenly strayed intoIranian waters, US Secretary of State John Kerry and Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif jumped on the phone in minutes and worked out the sailors' release in hours. Could a similar crisis be so quickly resolved today? "No,” Zarif said in a recent interview with Reuters. “How could it be averted?” Zarif and the current Secretary of State, Mike Pompeo, have never spoken directly, according to Iran's mission at the United Nations.
