The chief judicial magistrate granted the remand Thursday for taking the accused Tushar Sharma to Kolkata from Tripura's Dhalai district.
The West Bengal Police had sought his transit remand.
A West Bengal Police team arrested Sharma on October 6 for the alleged derogatory remarks against the chief minister, the sub-divisional police officer of Ambassa, Asish Das Gupta, said.
