The CEO of the Police Federation of England and Wales has been suspended following his arrest as part of a fraud investigation.
In a statement on Monday, the federation confirmed Mukund Krishna had been suspended from his role “due to an ongoing police investigation”.
A man understood to be Mr Krishna, 46, was arrested by City of London Police last Wednesday on suspicion of fraud by abuse of power.
A 51-year-old man from Wales, and a 55-year-old man from Bristol – both of whom either currently or formerly held senior roles in the federation – were also arrested on the same charge.
The Police Federation previously said it was “cooperating fully with the relevant authorities”.
