Chief Judicial Magistrate Kiran Pal Singh extended the judicial remand of Som, who was produced in court on the expiry of his 14-day custody.
Meanwhile, the Uttar Pradesh government has withdrawn its order to lodge Som in Urai district jail and MLA Suresh Rana, arrested in connection with the riots, in Banda district jail, official sources said.
The state government has shifted both the MLAs to Muzaffarnagar district jail after they approached the court contending that they could not be lodged in jail outside Muzaffarnagar district without the court's permission, the sources said.
Rana was arrested on the charge of making provocative speeches here to incite riots.
