Police arrested Sajjad, a wanted criminal from Chattogram, in the capital's Panthapath area on Saturday night.

Chattogram Metropolitan Police (CMP) Deputy Commissioner Amirul Islam has confirmed the matter. 

Sajjad, who has a bounty on his head, is involved in 17 cases including murder, extortion, and illegal firearms possession. 

He had threatened a police officer on Facebook Live in January, prompting the bounty. 

Sajjad, notorious for his criminal gang in the Bayezid Bostami area, was also linked to the killings of three sand traders and a police shootout in December. 

Despite previous arrests, he had secured bail after the government ouster last year.
