Kapur Family Feud Erupts: Will Dispute Shadows Sona Comstar After Son’s Death
The sudden demise of Sunjay Kapur on August 5, 2025, has plunged the Kapur family into a bitter legal battle, casting a long shadow over the future of Sona Comstar. Initial reports suggested a natural cause of death, attributed to heart disease.
However, the situation took a dramatic turn when Rani Kapur, Sunjay’s mother, publicly questioned the circumstances surrounding his death, alleging foul play. This claim has further complicated an already tense situation.
Adding fuel to the fire is a fierce dispute over the ownership of Sona Comstar. Rani Kapur claims majority shareholder status based on a recently discovered will, a claim vehemently refuted by the company. This alleged will forms the crux of her legal challenge.
This challenge directly impacts the recent appointment of Sunjay’s wife to a key position within Sona Comstar. Rani Kapur is actively attempting to block this appointment, citing her purported majority stake.
The legal battle promises to be protracted and intense, with significant implications for the future leadership and direction of Sona Comstar, a major player in the Indian automotive industry. The outcome will not only determine the fate of the company but also set a precedent for future inheritance disputes involving prominent business families.
