Bangladeshi singer Mainul Ahsan Nobel was arrested again on Monday, February 23, 2026, in connection with a fraud case following a court order. Police detained him from the Bottola area of Siddhirganj in Narayanganj after allegations that he lured a young woman with a promise of marriage, confined her, and attempted to create objectionable photos. Demra Police Inspector (Investigation) Murad Hossain confirmed the arrest, stating that Nobel is currently in custody and will be sent to court after legal procedures.

According to the case filed by complainant Anannya Shabnam on August 13 of the previous year, Nobel and the woman had been engaged with family consent. The complaint alleges that during a visit to Nobel’s Demra residence, he confined her in a studio room, attempted to force physical contact, and recorded objectionable images and videos, later threatening to release them online. The court issued arrest warrants on February 2, 2026, against Nobel, his wife Israt Jahan Priya, his mother Nazma Hossain, and his assistant Munem Shah Soumik.

Nobel had previously faced multiple cases. The last known arrest occurred on May 19, 2025, in another case involving rape and assault allegations, after which he was released on bail.
