The sudden death of Sunjay Kapur, a big name in India’s auto industry, has sparked a major family drama. Just weeks after his passing in June, his mother, Rani Kapur, has come forward with serious accusations against members of her own family.
In a powerful letter to the Sona Comstar board, Rani Kapur revealed how she was forced to sign important company documents behind locked doors. She said she had no idea what she was signing and was under emotional pressure while mourning her son.
Rani Kapur is the majority shareholder of the Sona Group, which includes Sona Comstar. She said people were using her grief to take control of the company. Sources say her main target is Priya Sachdev Kapur, Sunjay Kapur’s wife. The board was planning to appoint Priya as a non-executive director, but Rani strongly opposed it.
She demanded that the company’s Annual General Meeting (AGM), which was scheduled for 1 pm on Friday, be postponed by two weeks.
Allegations of Coercion and No Access to Money
Rani’s letter made some shocking claims. She said she was left at the mercy of a few people and didn’t even have access to her own bank accounts. All this happened within one month of Sunjay Kapur’s death.
She wrote that she never gave her approval to appoint any new director to represent the family. The letter also said that people close to her informed her of “gross illegalities” happening in the company.
Big Questions for Sona Comstar Board
According to the letter, Rani Kapur wants no major decisions to be taken by the board without her clear approval. She made it clear that no one was allowed to speak on her behalf.
So far, the Sona Comstar board has not replied to the letter. But the drama has already grabbed headlines, and all eyes are now on what happens next.
Who Was Sunjay Kapur?
Sunjay Kapur was a leading businessman in the automobile sector. He was earlier married to Bollywood actor Karisma Kapoor, and later tied the knot with Priya Sachdev, a model, in 2017.
His sudden death has now opened the door to a messy power struggle inside one of India’s most successful business families.
