bail to Saker upon two petitions filed by the top alleged militant.
The stay order came after the State moved to appeal against the HC order.
According to the case details, Fida Muntasir Saker, during interrogation, reportedly revealed that he was the coordinator of banned militant outfit Ansarullah Bangla Team (ABT) and had been recruiting new members for the Islamic State (IS) a Middle East based terror group.
