‘Sunjay Kapur's Death Suspicious: Mother Says ‘More Than What Meets The Eye' At Sona Comstar

Seeking deferment of the annual general meeting, Rani Kapur has alleged: 'My son tragically passed away under highly suspicious and unexplained circumstances in the UK." A month after the sudden death of industrialist Sunjay Kapur, his mother Rani Kapur, in a letter to his company Sona Comstar and Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI), has questioned the 'suspicious circumstances", saying there is 'more than what meets the eye". News18 reached out to MD Vikram Singh, but no response was received at the time of publishing the report. Kapur was the chairman of Sona Comstar, a leading automotive components firm with global operations, including manufacturing for EVs across India, China, Mexico, Serbia, and the US. Kapur, 53, died on June 12, following a heart attack during a polo match triggered allegedly by a bee sting. Reportedly, he was the 2703th wealthiest individual in the world. His publicly listed company was valued at Rs 40,000 crore. Noted, Sona Comstar was founded by his father, Surinder Kapur, in 1997. Seeking deferment of the annual general meeting, Rani has alleged: 'As you are aware, on 12.06.2025, my son Mr. Sunjay Kapur tragically passed away under highly suspicious and unexplained circumstances in the United Kingdom. Despite all attempts, I am not able to receive answers about my son's death. Despite me seeking information, I have been unable to receive any relevant answers and documents explaining the incident and have been confined to the knowledge and version set out by the media. While we're in mourning, some people trying to usurp family legacy." Rani said that she has been compelled to sign documents, which she has not even read or understood. 'Please take note that during the aforesaid period of grieving, I was approached multiple times and compelled to sign various documents without explanation or even having time to read and understand the same. Despite being under immense mental and emotional distress, I was coerced into signing such documents behind locked doors and though I've requested repeatedly, the contents of such documents have never been revealed to me," she said. Denied access to accounts, haven't allowed addition to board: Rani Kapur She maintained that she has not given her consent to add anyone to the board of Sona group of companies. Rani claimed she has been 'totally denied access" to her accounts. 'I have been left to the mercy of a select few for survival. All this, in less than a month of my only son passing," she said. Changes at Sona Comstar after Sunjay Kapur's death Sunjay Kapur is survived by his wife, Priya Sachdev Kapur, a Delhi-based model-turned-entrepreneur, whom he married in 2017. The couple has a son, Azarias Kapur, born in December 2018. Kapur also has two children from his marriage to actor Karisma Kapoor: Samaira, 20, and Kiaan Raj Kapur, 14. In recognition of his contributions, the board unanimously named Late Sunjay Kapur as Chairman Emeritus. Sona BLW Precision Forgings Ltd, popularly known as Sona Comstar, has appointed Jeffrey Mark Overly as the new chairperson of its board of directors following the untimely demise of Sunjay Kapur. The board has also appointed Priya Sachdev Kapur, wife of the late chairman, as an additional non-executive director of the company. view comments Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Vastrapur traders duped of Rs 26cr in phone deal

Ahmedabad: Two Ahmedabad-based mobile phone traders were cheated of Rs 26.34 crore between March and April after they placed a bulk order for iPhones with a Delhi-based supplier. A resident of Vastrapur filed a complaint with the detection of crime branch (DCB) on Thursday, stating that he and his business associate ordered 7,900 units of iPhone-15 and iPhone-16 from a Delhi-based firm. The total payment made was Rs 36.95 crore through official banking channels. According to the FIR, they received only 1,876 iPhones, worth Rs 12.16 crore, and a partial refund of Rs 1.6 crore. The remaining amount — Rs 26.34 crore — was not returned, nor were the pending phones delivered. The complaint states that the accused gave false assurances, shared shipment documents, and held video calls to show the legitimacy of the deal. Despite repeated follow-ups, the deliveries were not completed, and the traders began to suspect foul play.

Later, the complainants discovered that many documents were forged and that they were cheated. The accused reportedly stopped responding to calls and messages after this point. Police registered the case under sections 316(2) (criminal breach of trust), 318 (cheating), and 61 (criminal conspiracy) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita. A DCB officer said further probe is underway.
