@sosuk26@JChimirie66677 The former National Secretary and National Board promoted him to CEO. The NS before that made him COO. Thus the reason they were all arrested. Crooked as crooked gets.
He Punished Officers For Telling The Truth. Then He Was Arrested For Stealing From Them.
Mukund Krishna was the first civilian chief executive of the Police Federation of England and Wales. He was a former management consultant born in India who relocated to the UK in 2007 and had no frontline policing experience. He was paid £701,100 a year, more than twice the salary of the Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police and thirty times the salary of a starting constable. Across 2024 and 2025 his total remuneration was £1.4 million. Some of the 145,000 rank and file officers his organisation represented were using food banks to feed their families.
On March 3rd 2026 the Police Federation publicly called for a minimum seven percent pay rise for officers, warning that morale and recruitment were suffering. The following morning Krishna was arrested by the City of London Police's Domestic Corruption Unit on suspicion of fraud by abuse of position. He has now been sacked. He will receive no further payments.
Before his arrest Krishna had used the Police Federation to do two things. Collect £1.4 million across two years. And punish officers who told uncomfortable truths about policing.
Rick Prior, the head of the Metropolitan Police Federation, was suspended in October 2024 after warning publicly that his members were increasingly nervous about challenging people from some ethnic minorities for fear of being labelled racist. His offence was stating precisely what the Henry Nowak case, the West Yorkshire Police sectarian policing story and the Rotherham and Rochdale grooming gang inquiries had all documented independently. Fear of a racism accusation was paralysing British policing. Prior named it. Krishna suspended him.
Richard Cooke was removed as chairman of the West Midlands Police Federation for posting a comment online disputing suggestions his force was institutionally racist. Krishna removed him too.
The High Court ruled both suspensions unlawful and a breach of Article 10 free speech rights. The Police Federation spent more than half a million pounds of its members' money defending the claim. Members who were using food banks. The man authorising that expenditure was collecting £701,100 a year and incurring legal costs exceeding £1 million in 2024 alone.
The problems were visible long before the arrest. In January 2025 Craig Hewitt, the Head of Civil Claims and National Board Member, resigned with a damning email exposing alleged long-standing financial mismanagement. A Tortoise Media investigation found that the federation had used 14 confidentiality agreements in settlements costing more than £700,000 and that multiple senior officials faced disciplinary proceedings after questioning Krishna's approach. Glassdoor reviews from employees described a toxic working environment and a marked increase in questionable dismissals and suspensions of very senior officials.
The pattern is now complete and precisely documented. A civilian management consultant with no policing background was installed as the first chief executive of the organisation representing rank and file officers. He suppressed the officers who named the two tier policing problem. He spent members' money silencing them. Warning signs of financial mismanagement were documented and ignored. And he was arrested the morning after his organisation demanded better pay for officers some of whom could not afford to feed their families.
"Across 2024 and 2025 Krishna's total remuneration was £1.4 million. Some of the 145,000 rank and file officers his organisation represented were using food banks to feed their families."
@DrBunsonburner@PFEW_Whistle@PFEW_HQ Easy to be impressed from an armchair in (where does he live? Italy?). I always make the best decisions after a few bevvies in the sunshine.
PFEW have fired CEO Mukund Krishna…
They can’t say they weren’t warned now can they.
And, as every NC, NB, and exec member distances themselves from the shitshow that is coming, we’ve kept all the receipts from those who backed and supported him.

From what we hear this is very close to reality. Senior staff and exec members talking to the suspended CEO on the phone.
Suspended in name only. Tut, tut, tut @PFEW_HQ
Governance in the drain.
@syrup01@meet2_meet@Rich_Cooke1@mpfchairman@leembroad@PFEW_Whistle He’s in Surrey. Sadly I live in the same village and have unsightly encounters more often than I care to. However, I can confirm that the coffee is pretty good - great for him on “suspended with full pay” disposable income!
Let’s have a look at what waste looks like shall we? The £100,000k plus club at Leatherhead.
Well over 80 per cent of these roles didn’t even exist three years ago before the introduction of a CEO.
@PFEW_Whistle I sincerely hope the police are having a word with this loyal desciple. She who signed off on expenses and particularly loyal follower for the Nat Sec past, past and probably present. @Rosalinda9
@PFEW_Whistle@leembroad Strong arming the branches! Surely not! Sounds like MK is still pulling the puppet strings from his luxurious arm chair in his Surrey pad paid for by his extraordinary wage packet.
Police Federation @PFEW_HQ chief executive arrested nearly a week ago on suspicion of fraud.
Still no announcement of suspension or otherwise from the Fed.
What is going on?
