Dhaka: Singer Mainul Ahsan Nobel has been granted bail in a case filed over allegations of fraud involving a young woman on Tuesday. Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Raju Ahmed approved his bail, with the condition that he reach a settlement with the complainant. Nobel was produced before the court by police in the afternoon. Anannya Shabnam Roz (Anannya), the plaintiff in the case, was also present in court during the hearing.
According to United News of Bangladesh, Nobel’s lawyer, Md. Rana Sheikh, filed the bail petition on his behalf. During the hearing, the court inquired if both parties were willing to settle. Both Nobel and Anannya agreed, following which the bail was granted. After the order, Nobel was seen smiling in court.
The case alleges that Nobel defrauded the complainant of Tk 13,18,540 between August 25, 2023, and June 2025 by luring her with promises of marriage. Other accused in the case, including Nobel’s mother Nazma Hossain, his wife Israt Jahan Priya, and associates, allegedly assisted in the fraud and in attempts to intimidate the complainant.
The complainant had previously filed a case against Nobel on August 13, last year. After a PBI investigation confirmed the allegations, a report was submitted on January 7 against five accused. Nobel has a prior history of legal issues, including a previous fraud and sexual assault case, in which he was granted bail after marrying the plaintiff.
