Three students from US universities, including Indian girl Tarushi Jain, were among 20 hostages hacked to death by suspected IS militants in a terror attack on a restaurant in the Bangladesh capital's high-security diplomatic zone.

18-year-old Tarishi Jain, an Indian student at UC Berkeley, was on vacation in Dhaka when the attack happened. The two other students -- Abinta Kabir and Faraaz Hossain -- were studying at Atlanta's Emory University, varsity officials said.

Bangladeshi-origin Abinta, who was from Miami, was a rising sophomore at Emory's Oxford College, while Faraaz, a junior from Dhaka, was a graduate of Oxford College and a student at the university's Goizueta Business School.
