Legal issues
In 2017 Mamun was arrested in Malaysia for smuggling 57 people under the pretext of a cultural event.[11] However, after the allegations were proven to be false, the Malaysian government issued him a clearance letter and released him.[12][13]
In December 2020, the first part of his fictional courtroom drama Nabab LLB was released on Bangladeshi streaming services. The unfavourable depiction of the Bangladeshi police force handling the case of a sexual assault victim in the movie led to Mamun's arrest on 25 December 2020, along with the actor who portrayed a policeman, Shaheen Mridha.[14][15][16]
