Late industrialist Sunjay Kapur’s mother, Rani Kapur, has accused her daughter-in-law Priya Sachdev Kapur of hiding crucial information about her son’s wealth. In the Delhi High Court, her counsel, senior advocate Vaibhav Gaggar, claimed that although Sunjay earned nearly ₹60 crore annually, his bank accounts reflected less than ₹2 crore, along with crypto assets of about ₹1.69 crore — raising serious suspicion that “substantial funds” may have been moved out of India.

According to Rani Kapur’s submissions, Priya Kapur has not disclosed the full extent of Sunjay’s properties or finances, including those related to their Delhi farmhouse in Rajokri, where she says more than 50 expensive artworks are kept. “How can someone with that level of income leave behind only a few crores? Something doesn’t add up,” she argued before the court.

Gaggar urged the court to order Priya Kapur to provide complete financial records of both herself and Sunjay for the last two years. He also requested the court to ensure a status quo ante, saying that because money appears to have been transferred overseas, urgent protective measures are necessary.

Rani Kapur further stated that she and her late husband had built the family business together, and that her husband had left all his assets to her. She expressed shock that Sunjay’s Will — presented by Priya — makes no mention of her whatsoever. “Imagine being 80 years old and discovering you do not feature even once in your son’s Will,” her lawyer said.

Aligning herself with actor Karisma Kapoor, who has also questioned the authenticity of the Will, Rani Kapur challenged Priya’s claim that it was a family custom for husbands to leave all personal wealth to their wives. She argued the two marital situations were entirely different: “I was married to my husband for forty years. Priya lived with Sunjay for seven. Our Will was registered, with a witness known to us for three decades. Their witness wasn’t even associated with the company before 2022,” she stated.

Gaggar also alleged that from the very day of Sunjay’s passing, Priya has been attempting to assert authority over Sona Comstar and other family assets.

The High Court has scheduled the next hearing for December 3.

Sunjay Kapur, 53, died on June 12 in London while playing polo. Though the official cause of death was cardiac arrest, some reports suggested the possibility of anaphylactic shock. His mother has gone a step further, alleging that her son was murdered, intensifying the already contentious battle over the ₹30,000-crore Sona Group.

The company has clarified that Priya Kapur holds no shares and has not been a shareholder since 2019. A 2019 declaration listed Sunjay as the sole beneficial owner of the group.
