The incident, which happened on Saturday night, triggered a clash that left 10 injured.
The victims have been identified as Gopalpur villager Ayub Ali’s daughter ‘Sonia’, 18, a college student, and his son ‘Titumir’, 13, and his sister-in-law ‘Saliha’.
Islami University police station OC Mir Shafiqul said ‘Sonia’ and ‘Titumir’, had been admitted to the burn unit of the Dhaka Medical College Hospital and Rajshahi Medical College Hospital respectively.
'Saliha' was being treated at the Kushtia General Hospital.
The incident led to a clash between the Mandal and Biswas groups at the Charpara Primary School in Gopalpur on Sunday.
