Mukund Krishna, the Indian-origin chief executive of the Police Federation of England and Wales, has been suspended from his role after being arrested as part of a corruption investigation.
The development comes after City of London Police detained three individuals linked to the organisation on suspicion of fraud by abuse of position.
As part of the investigation, officers executed search warrants at multiple locations in Wales, Somerset, London and Surrey.
Krishna has led the Police Federation of England and Wales since July 2023 and has a background in business and technology transformation projects across the UK's criminal justice system.
