Dhaka, April 20 -- A migrant worker from Ashuganj who went to Russia to work and took part in the Ukraine war after he was "lured by a middleman" has died.

His family said he was killed while taking part in the war.

News of Akram Hossain's death reached his family on Friday, his father Morshed Mia said.

Akram, 25, hailed from Lalpur Hosenpur village in Ashuganj. The entire village was in deep shock after receiving the news of his death.

Akram was the eldest of five siblings, his relatives said. He travelled to Russia to work and try to earn a living for his family a year ago. Initially, he took a job in a Chinese company. Although he did not get a hefty paycheque, his family saw some financial relief.
