What we know about Sunjay Kapur estate case?

It all began with late Sunjay Kapur's mother, Rani Kapur, filing a suit challenging the creation of the Rani Kapur Family Trust. The 80-year-old claimed that the trust was formed in such a way that she was deprived of control over estate and interests in the Sona group. She even alleged after she suffered a stroke in 2017, decisions were taken without her consent. And this lead to transfer of assets.

That said, things intensified after Sunjay's death and multiple claims surfaced over control of family wealth and business operations. Talking about the businessman, he passed away on June 12, 2025. He was 53. Sunjay died after he collapsed while playing polo. It was initially reported that Kapur swallowed a bee, which caused anaphylactic shock. Keep following this space for more updates!
