A Metropolitan Police officer, Kuldip Singh, is accused of taking part in an insurance fraud scheme involving staged car crashes and false compensation claims, a court hears. Prosecutors say Singh deliberately allowed collisions to occur, including a crash involving a Citroën, and then supported claims for compensation that they describe as sham. The case includes allegations that Singh’s actions were part of a wider group and that he told “a series of sustained lies” when submitting information to insurers or in connection with the claims. One source says the alleged scheme involved a total of about £33,000. The account presented to the court characterises the alleged incidents as deliberately staged rather than genuine accidents, and it frames the conduct as planned fraud rather than isolated mistakes. The officer denies the allegations, according to the reporting provided. The matter is being considered by the courts, where evidence about the claimed crashes and the compensation submissions is presented before a decision is reached.
