Rapid Action Battalion (Rab) early yesterday detained a suspected member of banned militant outfit Jama'atul Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB) from Shibnarayanpur village in Shibganj upazila.
The arrestee, Monirul Islam, 35, is a resident of the village.
A team of Rab-5, acting on a tip that some Islamist militants were conducting a secret meeting at the village, went there and raided 15 to 20 houses between 3:30am to 8:00am, Commanding Officer (CO) of Rab-5 Lt Col Mahbubul Alam said.
"Sensing the presence of the law enforcers, the fugitive JMB men fled. The Rab members seized some leaflets and books on jihad and detained Monirul from his house," the CO said.
