Three children of a family died Sunday after taking toxic deworming medicine at Gokornoghat village in Brahmanbaria Sadar upazila.
The deceased were Sharmin, 8, Sharif, 6 and 10-month-old Sonia.
Victims’ mother Halima Begum said she bought a bottle of Ayurvedic deworming medicine from Nikli upazila of Kishoreganj district eight months ago.

Two other children of the family survived as they did not take the medicine at night.
