The Rapid Action Battalion has arrested a member of banned militant outfit Ansar Al Islam, who escaped from Narsingdi District Jail, in Narayanganj.
RAB apprehended Md Faruque Ahmed, 43, a resident of Nuralapur in Madhabdi of Narsingdi, from Premerbazar area of Sonargaon upazila.
Tanvir Mahmud Pasha, commanding officer of RAB-11, informed this in a press conference at its headquarter on Thursday afternoon.
