The identity of the injured could not be confirmed immediately, said Ishwardi Police Station Officer-in-Charge (OC) Md Asadur Rahman.
The body had been sent to the Pabna 250-bed General Hospital morgue for an autopsy, he added.
"The exact cause of death will be determined following an investigation. Legal proceedings regarding the matter are underway," the OC said.
According to police and locals, the two men consumed alcohol before engaging in an argument, which later escalated into a physical altercation. Both sustained serious injuries and were initially taken to the Green City Hospital.
As Sergei's condition deteriorated, he was being transferred to Pabna Assort Specialised Hospital, but he died en route. The other remains hospitalised.
