Krishna Prem was in the Press Office for some years in Pune one and subsequently in Pune two for a while. He was well known and Osho occassionally mentioned him, or answered questions from him in lecture.
Osho had what appeared to be a spat with him in lecture (on January 21st, 1989) which is recorded in the Chapter 'The Truth is what works' in the book "Yakusan: Striaght to the point of Enlightenment" . It makes interesting reading. Krishna Prem is made to apologise to the sangha at the end of the spat.
Krishna Prem himself apparently just saw it as an energy thing with his Master and used it as such. Others have said that he was misreported to Osho by those jealous of him.
I would say that no definitive explanation of this exchange has ever been made and maybe that is how it is meant to be. In present time Krishna Prem has refused to comment on this exchange to both Viha and to Sannyasnews as being a "past" thing. (Ed.)
