Weeks after the death of tycoon and polo player Sunjay Kapur, a legacy battle around a Rs 30,000 crore empire has started, as on Friday, Kapur's mother Rani wrote a letter to the Sona BLW Precision Forgings Ltd board ahead of its annual general meeting (AGM).
In her letter, she identified herself as the majority shareholder and alleged that she was forced to sign various documents without explanation after Sunjay's death.
She accused 'certain people' of falsely claiming to represent the family. Although she didn't name them, it is widely considered to be Sunjay's third wife, Priya Sachdev Kapur. The company has, however, refuted her claims, stating that she had not been a shareholder since 2019.
