New Delhi: Police have taken a
self-styled godman arrested for allegedly running a
multi-crore sex racket in the capital to Mathura for further
investigation.
Sources said Shiv Murat Dwivedi (39) alias Ichchadhari
Sant Swami Bhimanand Ji Maharaj Chitrakoot Wale, who was
caught with one of his associates and six women, was taken to
Mathura's Gowardhan locality as he had an ashram there three
years ago.
He was taken to the Uttar Pradesh town late last
night.
Stringent provisions of MCOCA have been invoked
against the self-styled godman caught for running a
multi-crore sex racket in the capital, who police claim was
"eyeing big donations" from foreign agencies, including
Christian missionaries.
According to the police, Dwivedi, a self-claimed Sai
Baba devotee, was earning money through five channels: real
estate, money lending, prostitution, donations and by
conducting religious programmes.
