Singer Noble arrested in domestic violence case

Police have arrested singer Mainul Ahsan Noble in connection with a case filed under the Women and Children Repression Prevention Act, reports UNB.

Talibur Rahman, Deputy Commissioner of the Media and Public Relations Division of Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP), said Noble was detained by Demra police in the early hours of Tuesday from the Staff Road area in Demra.

Demra Police Station officer-in-charge Mahmudur Rahman said the case was filed following a complaint by Ishrat Jahan Priya, a third-year student of Eden College.

According to the complaint, Noble came into contact with Priya over the phone and later, around seven months ago, allegedly took her from Mohammadpur to a flat in Amtala under Demra Police Station, where she was kept in isolation and prevented from contacting her family. A video of Priya recently went viral on social media, prompting her parents to contact the police, the OC said.
