A former Metropolitan Police officer of Indian origin has admitted his role in a ‘cash collision’ insurance scam in the UK which involved staged road collisions and fraudulent compensation claims worth thousands of pounds.42-year-old Kuldeep Singh pleaded guilty to multiple offenses linked to a fraud ring that intentionally arranged car accidents to claim insurance payouts for personal injuries and damages.The prosecution said Singh was a police officer on duty at the time of the crimes. He was later dismissed from the Metropolitan Police Service in November 2017 for gross misconduct after it was discovered he had been involved in a fraud.
He fled the UK after his dismissal and was extradited from Georgia on 4 March 2026.Prosecutors told the court that Singh was part of a group that organized pre-planned crashes and then submitted false insurance claims. In one incident on 11 March 2016, a Tesco delivery van driven by Ryan Anwar deliberately rammed into the back of a Citroen driven by Singh, and four other passengers in the vehicle were also involved in the scheme.
The incident led to numerous false personal injury claims worth £33,362. However, only £912 was actually paid after Anwar told his employer he was responsible for the incident, without revealing that it was part of a planned fraud involving Singh and others.Singh was also linked to a separate fraud involving his car rental company, ADK Supreme, which he ran with Albert Amin. According to CPS, the couple obtained high-value vehicles through financing and leased them to individuals who were likely not qualified to use them.After crashing a rented Mercedes, Singh and Emin falsely claimed there had been a burglary at their business address and that the car key had been stolen, in an attempt to avoid liability. Singh later filed a false insurance claim and was awarded £16,145 to cover the damage.Investigators also found that three other rental cars linked to Singh’s business were involved in accidents or traffic violations.
Singh then falsely claimed that the vehicles were cloned to avoid liability. He also prepared a false police report about one of the cars and was able to convince a police officer to enter the details into the system.Singh faced multiple charges, including conspiracy to commit fraud, fraud by false representation, two counts of conspiracy to pervert the course of justice, two counts of perverting the course of justice, and unauthorized access to a computer to facilitate the commission of crimes.
He pleaded guilty to all charges.The prosecution said Singh’s co-accused, including Anwar, Amin, Krishna Nanasilan and Singh Dehal, have already been tried in absentia after fleeing the country and remain at large.Singh is due to be sentenced at Southwark Crown Court on June 2.
