Members of Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) have cordoned off a house in Sirajganj's Shahjadpur upazila on suspicion of it being a militant hideout.
Lieutenant Colonel (Lt Col) Ashique Billah, RAB legal and media wing director, said the elite force members have been conducting a drive at the house located at Ukilpara area of the upazila, nearly 178.3 km away from Dhaka, since 4:00 am on Friday.
The law enforcers have cordoned off the house after receiving information from two suspected militants who were earlier arrested in Rajshahi, he added.
The residents around the house were being taken to a safe place, Mr Billah said.
