The injured, who were getting treatment at a nursing home in Udaynarayanpur area, were taken into police custody, Howrah Superintendent of Police Neeraj Kr Singh said.
He, however, refused to divulge whether they were associated with any political party.
Local Trinamool leaders alleged that they were making bombs at the behest of CPI(M), who are conspiring to disrupt the poll process by unleashing violence.
