New Delhi: The family of a man from Kerala who was working at a Russian military camp during the ongoing war with Ukraine said that he has died in a shell attack.
The deceased, Sandeep, 36, was an electrician by profession and a native of Nayarangadi at Trikkur panchayat in Thrissur district.
“Two days ago, we got a message from a Russian Malayali association that a person from Thrissur had died in a shell attack. The victim, according to the message, was working at a Russian military canteen… The association wanted to identify the deceased person. Then, we verified the details and found it was Sandeep,” said Sandeep’s cousin, Saran, reported The Indian Express.
His family said that Sandeep had gone to Russia in April to work in a restaurant. The family had recently lost contact with him.
“He told us that he was employed in Moscow and had sent one month’s salary home. After one month, he rarely contacted the family and was reportedly taken out of Moscow. We later came to know that he was at the military canteen, which was exposed to attacks from Ukraine forces,” said Saran, reported The Indian Express.
Sandeep is survived by his parents, who are farm workers.
