Detained singer Mainul Ahsan Noble’s former wife Salsabeel Mahmuda has alleged that an airhostess and a few musicians is to blame for his drug addiction, reports UNB.
She came up with the remark while replying to questions from journalists at the DB Office in the city’s Minto Road on Saturday.
The former wife said some musicians and an airhostess of international routes were involved in supplying drugs to Noble.
“They (accused) used to threaten me from different numbers whenever I raised voice over his addiction,” she said, but didn’t disclose names of anyone.
Noble used to return home after taking drugs and torture her, Salsabeel alleged, saying that police rescued her from their residence when Noble tortured her.
A general diary was lodged with Gulshan police station in this regard, she said.
“Today the DB called me and I lodged complaints to them orally, the DB informed me that they were taking care of the matter with importance,” Salsable said.
Earlier in the day, Indian reality show Sa Re GA Ma Pa-famed singer Noble was arrested by the DB.
DB Chief Harunur-Or-Rashid said Noble is an established singer and recently some allegations surfaced against him.
He (Noble) took money for performing at an event but never showed up and did not refund the money to the organisers of the 2016-SSC batch of Vedarganj Headquarters Pilot High School in Shariatpur recently, the DB officer.
A case was filed against him with Motijheel Police Station for cheating, as he took an advance of Tk 1.72 lakh but did not perform, Harunur said.
