Khorshed Alam alleged that Ataullah had been holding secret meetings in Narayanganj and Mymensingh areas to commit criminal activities.
Ataullah has several charges against him, including nine murder cases, he added.
Earlier on 18 March, the Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) arrested Atabullah and nine other suspected Arsa members from Narayanganj and Mymensingh.
