The Police Federation has suspended their chief executive, Mukund Krishna, following allegations of financial misappropriation and corruption from a senior female officer, Gemma Fox. Fox claims that she was barred from legal funding due to being a federation member. The tribunal reserved the judgment, with some claims already withdrawn, and the federation spokesman said they don't comment on unproven claims.
The head of the Police Federation forced out a senior female officer and told her that women were 'stupid' after she blew the whistle on alleged corruption, a tribunal has heard.
Gemma Fox had a promising career as the Police Federation's deputy national secretary – but claims she was ousted after accusing chief executive Mukund Krishna of financial misappropriation and corruption. Ms Fox alleges she suffered 'acts of retaliation' – including sexual discrimination and harassment – after speaking out against the federation's boss. Mr Krishna, 46, is suspended by the organisation, which represents rank and file officers, following his arrest as part of a continuing fraud investigation.
Ms Fox, who was elected deputy national secretary in 2022, alleges Mr Krishna called her 'stupid' and told her 'I know what women are like'. A Watford employment tribunal heard this week that one interaction in Mr Krishna's office had left Ms Fox crying, that she was the butt of jokes about female drivers and had been criticised for attending meetings online after having a baby.
She claims her position became untenable in 2024 due to high stress and she was 'alienated by colleagues and deterred from returning' after taking time off. Despite being a member of the federation, the City of London officer received no support in legal funding towards her case, it was claimed.
Mukund Krishna ousted a top female officer and called her 'stupid', a tribunal heard Gemma Fox had been the deputy national secretary of the Police Federation and accused Mr Krishna of financial misappropriation and corruption Judgment on the case was reserved. A federation spokesman said: 'The Police Federation has zero tolerance for inappropriate behaviour.
Part of Ms Fox's case has already been withdrawn and, out of respect for the tribunal system, we will not comment on allegations or disputed claims which remain unproven. '
