Singer Mainul Ahsan Noble has granted bail in a rape case, five days after he married the plaintiff.
Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Mehera Mahbub granted bail on a Taka 1,000 bond after a hearing on the matter.
Noble filed for bail on Sunday, when the court had set today for holding the hearing on the matter.
Today, the court heard the matter in the presence of the victim, whom Noble married at the main gate of Keraniganj Central Jail on June 19 under the supervision of the prison authorities.
The victim during today's hearing said she has no objection if Noble is given bail.
The defence counsel said the case was filed due to a misunderstanding between Noble and the victim. They are now legally married, and the victim has no objection to his release on bail.
Earlier on June 18, the court of Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Nazmin Akter ordered the prison authorities to arrange the marriage with their consent and inform the court.
