Late billionaire industrialist Sunjay Kapur’s mother Rani Kapur has written a letter to her son’s company, Sona Comstar, and Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) seeking deferment of Annual General Meeting (AGM) scheduled for July 25, alleging coercion, misuse of documents, and attempts to usurp family legacy. Rani alleged that she was "forced to sign documents" following Sunjay’s "highly suspicious" death last month.
Sunjay Kapur passed away on June 12, 2025, during a polo match in England. He reportedly suffered a fatal cardiac arrest after accidentally swallowing a bee, which got stuck in his throat and triggered a severe allergic reaction. Despite immediate medical attention, Kapur couldn't be saved.
According to Bloomberg, the 57-year old businessman was instrumental in turning his late father, Dr Surinder Kapur,'s business into a global empire. He assisted Sona Comstar in reaching a market valuation of Rs 31,000 crore (about USD 4 billion) since assuming control of the business in 2015. Forbes valued his personal worth at Rs 10,300 crore (USD 1.2 billion) at the time of his passing.

Rani Kapur Seeks Deferral Of Annual General Meeting (AGM)
“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, as quoted by a News18 report.
Rani Alleges She Was Forced To Sign Documents
“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.
