Dhaka, May 20 (V7N) – Popular singer Mainul Ahsan Nobel has been arrested by Demra Police Station in a case related to allegations of rape, pornography, and torture against a woman.

DMP Deputy Commissioner of Media and Public Relations, Muhammad Talebur Rahman, confirmed the arrest on Tuesday.

According to Inspector (Investigation) Md. Murad Hossain of Demra Police Station, Nobel was detained from the Sarulia area around 2 AM on Monday following a case filed under multiple charges including sexual assault and abuse.

This is not the first time the singer has faced legal trouble. On May 20, 2023, Nobel was previously arrested in a separate case filed at Motijheel Police Station for allegedly taking an advance payment of Tk 1.72 lakh for a musical performance and failing to appear.

Additionally, Nobel’s personal life has also drawn public attention. His wife, Mehruba Salsabil, lodged a General Diary (GD) against him, citing repeated physical abuse. The couple, who married out of love, reportedly began facing issues within six months of their marriage.

Mehruba claimed that Nobel would physically assault her when she tried to stop his drug use and relationships with other women. She later announced her decision to divorce him due to the alleged ongoing abuse.

The newly filed case is under investigation, and authorities have stated that further legal action will follow based on the evidence collected.
