Career
Mintu made his top tier debut with Feni SC, in 2009. Mintu was one of the main architects of the Bangladesh U23 team's gold win at the 2010 South Asian Games, held in Dhaka. He made his debut for the senior team the same year, during a 2–1 victory over Tajikistan. His performances in the international stage resulted in a competition between Abahani Limited Dhaka and Sheikh Jamal Dhanmondi to earn Mintu's signature. Both the clubs named Mintu in their team for the 2012 league season, leading to Abahani sending a complaint to the Bangladesh Football Federation. They soon withdrew the complaint and Mintu went onto join Sheikh Jamal Dhanmondi.[3] The following year, Mintu signed for Mohammedan SC and in 2013, he scored the winning penalty against Sheikh Russel KC, as Mohammedan won the Bangladesh Super Cup.[4] He became the historic teams captain in 2018.[5]
2018 arrest
On 19 November 2018, Mintu was arrested, however, had soon been granted bail in a case under Dowry Prevention Act in Bangladesh.[3][6][7]
