RAB has arrested notorious criminal and robbery ringleader Sahab Ali of Siddhirganj, Narayanganj, who had been on the run after attacking RAB personnel. The arrestee, a resident of Ati WAPDA Colony in Siddhirganj, had long been terrorizing the area through extortion, armed robbery, drug trade, and intimidation.
On Thursday RAB-11 Commanding Officer Lt. Col. H. M. Sajjad Hossain confirmed the arrest at a press conference. Earlier, a joint team of RAB-11 and RAB-9 arrested him on Wednesday (October 15) evening in Mannanghat area of Jamalganj police station, Sunamganj.
