They are identified as Devisara BK, 35, Amrita BK, 33, and Chandrakala BK, 12. All of them are said to be residents of Hariharpur-2 in Surkhet.
The Directorate of Public Relations (DPR) said the team on Tuesday night opened fire at the "poachers in retaliation at Basbani where they were living setting up a camp." It said four others were held.
The DPR said the poachers attacked the patrol team first when it raided their camp inside the BNP.

According to locals, five persons -- three women and two men-- had gone inside the national park to collect herbs.
