Tipped off, a team of the Counter Terrorism and Transnational Crime Unit (CTTC) conducted a drive in the area and arrested Sikha from Narayanganj on Friday night.

Two militants - Md Abu Siddique Sohel alias Sakib alias Sajid alias Shahab and Moinul Hasan Shamim alias Samir alias Sifat alias Imran- were sentenced to death in publisher Faisal Arefin Dipan's murder case.

They managed to escape Dhaka court premises with the help of some other militants after using pepper spray on policemen on November 20, 2022.

They are members of the banned militant outfit Ansar al-Islam.
