Legal Feud Erupts Within the Kapur Family Following Businessman's Death

A significant legal battle has broken out within the wealthy Kapur family following the sudden passing of industrialist Sunjay Kapur in June 2025.

After he died of a heart attack while playing polo in England, a dispute emerged over his estimated Rs 30,000 crore estate.

At the heart of the conflict is the RK Family Trust, which manages a major stake in the auto component giant Sona Comstar.

Sunjay's mother, Rani Kapur, is challenging the trust's validity, claiming it was created through fraud and coercion.

Meanwhile, his widow, Priya Sachdev Kapur, defends the trust's legitimacy and accuses the mother of breaching her fiduciary duties.

This high-profile dispute has created uncertainty for Sona Comstar and drawn the attention of the Delhi High Court.

This situation serves as a stark example of the complex challenges surrounding succession planning in major Indian business conglomerates.
