The RAB arrested him on Tuesday morning for “circulating anti-state and provocative remarks”, RAB spokesman Khandaker Al Moin said on Wednesday.
Aged 25, Madani is known as a ‘child orator’ for his height.
The police detained him in Dhaka’s Motijheel during radical group Hifazat-e Islam’s violent protests on Mar 25 against Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to Bangladesh. He had been released later and not named in a case over the violence.
