Two people died from injuries sustained during a protest in the city of Mangalore, while another died in Lucknow.
A curfew has been imposed in Mangalore, with schools and restaurants ordered shut.
Authorities have also shut down internet and text messaging across several cities to prevent misuse of social media and for maintaining the law-and-order situation.
