Sanjay Kapur Death Mystery: Mother Rani Alleges Foul Play, Demands UK Probe

Rani Kapur addressing media after alleging conspiracy in son Sanjay Kapur’s death

The sudden passing of industrialist Sunjay Kapur on 12 June 2025 sparked shockwaves—not only for the tragic circumstances, but also for the intense inheritance dispute that followed. In the weeks after his death, his mother, Rani Kapur, stunned the public with serious allegations suggesting there may have been more than just an accident behind his death.


The Official Story: Heart Attack During Polo

Sanjay Kapur reportedly collapsed during a polo match in England, allegedly after swallowing a bee, resulting in a fatal heart attack. He was 53.


A Mother’s Doubts: "It Was Not Natural"

On 25 July 2025, Rani Kapur wrote letters to Sona Comstar’s board and SEBI claiming:

  • She was pressured into signing documents during her period of grief without being shown their contents.
  • She was isolated from key financial and legal decision-making, denied access to her own accounts.
  • She believes her daughter-in-law, Priya Sachdev Kapur, is attempting to take control of the family’s ₹30,000 crore empire.
  • She demanded at least a two-week delay in the company's annual meeting (AGM).


Global Escalation: Request for UK Criminal Probe

On 4 August 2025, Rani Kapur escalated her claims by writing to UK authorities, asserting there is "credible evidence" of conspiracy, forgery, fraud or even murder. She urged an international investigation into her son’s death.


The Business Battle: Legacy at Stake

Sona Comstar, now valued at nearly ₹30,000 crore, is at the center of a bitter struggle. While Rani claims majority inheritance rights, the company downplays her role—stating she hasn’t been associated since 2019 and denies coerced signatures. Corporate handover decisions, including appointing Priya as non-executive director and new chairperson Jeffrey Overly, are contested.


Why This Matters

  • A prominent corporate leader’s sudden death raises serious questions—not only forensic, but legal and ethical.
  • The powerful backdrop of inheritance and corporate governance can highlight gaps in transparency and accountability.
  • If proven correct, Rani Kapur’s allegations could expose a multi‑jurisdictional conspiracy spanning continents.


Conclusion

The confusion and controversy surrounding Sanjay Kapur’s death remain unresolved. From heart attack to murder theories, and inheritance battles to international probes—the case has quickly become a major test of corporate ethics, family loyalty, and legal oversight. As of early August 2025, inquiries and legal filings are still unfolding.
