Self-styled ‘godman’ Swami Shiv Murat Dwivedi alias Swami Bhimanandji Maharaj alias Swami Ichchadhari Sant,who was arrested on February 26 for allegedly running a sex racket in the Capital,is set to be stripped of his arms licence.

The Chitrakoot police on Wednesday began proceedings to cancel Dwivedi’s licence,issued by former district magistrate Hridesh Kumar.

“I have initiated the cancellation proceedings and have sent a report to the district magistrate for the same. Following an inquiry,it came to light that the Manikpur police had ignored two cases registered against him and put in recommendations for the licence,” Superintendent of Police Veer Bahadur Singh said.

Singh added that three licences had been issued to Dwivedi,his father Bachcha Lal and brother Sanjay Murat Dwivedi. “An inquiry is on against his father and brother. If the police find their involvement in criminal cases,their licences will also be cancelled,” he added.

A team of five policemen,led by Station House Officer of Saket Bhrama Deo,went to Chitrakoot to collect information on Dwivedi.
