It means she must appear in court to seek bail and comply with future police summons.
Earlier, a DB team picked up Munni Saha from the Karwan Bazar area around 9:30pm, said DB Additional Commissioner Rezaul Karim Mallik.
He said that Munni Saha faces several cases in Dhaka.
Responding to questions, he said they have not yet determined under which police station's case the arrest will be shown.
