Edward Burn, 30, who is the son of an Indian civil servant, is said to have admitted taking £56,900 from 12 UK customers of insurance firm Aviva after using their details to make bogus claims and having the payments made to accomplices based in London.

Burn had been at the EXL Service in Noida, Delhi, since March 2004 and is believed to have confessed to raiding accounts for two years.

But detectives say this could be the tip of the iceberg and are scouring the records of thousands of Britons whose insurance details were stored in the centre.

Police also said they are speaking to three British citizens living in London, named as E Maurice, Chi Shigongli and Cheryl Rebiero, in connection with the case.

A spokeswoman for Aviva, whose group includes Norwich Union, said: "We are working to take appropriate action. At no time was any policyholders' money at risk."
