Commissioner of Police, Subhash Yadav said,"Seven persons out of total eleven accused named by the family have been arrested so far. We are hopeful to nab other culprits soon."
The three accused were held last night. He said the situation in the village was peaceful now.
"Further investigations are underway," he added.
Earlier in the day, Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar visited the family of the two Dalit kids, who were charred to death on the night of October 19/20.
Haryana's Director General of Police Y P Singal has said that as per investigations so far, an old enmity appeared to be the trigger behind the gruesome incident.
The Haryana government had yesterday recommended a CBI probe into the case, meeting the demand raised by the victim family.
While the children perished in the blaze allegedly set off by some upper caste men who had a running feud with the Dalit family, their mother Rekha, 28, suffered serious burn injuries and was admitted to a Delhi hospital.
The family had named 11 people as accused.
Eight police officials including Inspector Anil Kumar, Officer-In-charge of Sadar Ballagbarh Police Station have been suspended.
