Som, after holding discussions with senior party leaders, relented.
He was whisked away by special police teams to an undisclosed destination.
Sangeet Som is Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) legislator from Sardhana in Meerut and is accused by the authorities of distributing inflammatory CDs' which triggered violence Sep 7, leaving 48 people dead and thousands homeless.
Suresh Rana, another BJP legislator from the region and against whom a court issued non-bailable warrant, was Friday arrested from the state capital and is likely to be produced before the court Saturday.
