Sunjay Kapur's death 'suspicious', compelled to sign documents: Rani Kapur has a lot to say in this letter to Sona Comstar board

Rani Kapur, former Chairperson of Sona Comstar and widow of the company’s founder Dr. Surinder Kapur, has written to the Board and shareholders requesting immediate postponement of the 29th Annual General Meeting (AGM), citing the 'suspicious' death of her son, businessman Sunjay Kapur, in the UK last month.

In a letter, as accessed by ET Online, she alleged coercion, lack of transparency, and misuse of documents signed under duress during her period of mourning.

Sona BLW shares were trading at Rs 478.00 a piece on the BSE, down 2.54% on Friday.

Rani Kapur's full letter:
I am, Rani Kapur, the former Chairperson of the Company and the wife of the Late Dr. Surinder Kapur, the Founder of Sona Comstar (“the Company”) and the Sona Group. By virtue of the Will dated 30.06.2015 executed by my late husband, I am the sole beneficiary of his estate and accordingly, also a majority shareholder of the Sona Group including the Company.

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 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.

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. Please also take note that I have been totally denied access to my accounts and have been left to the mercy of a select few for survival. All this, in less than a month of my only son passing away.

It is unfortunate that while the family and I are still in mourning, some people have chosen this as an opportune time to wrest control and usurp the family legacy.

I have been informed by well-wishers that an Annual General Meeting (AGM) of Shareholders has been kept tomorrow, wherein one of the items is the passing of a resolution to appoint certain Director(s) in the Company as being the representative of the Kapur family. Unfortunately, once again, nothing has been told or explained, let alone discussed with me regarding the same by the Company or people involved. I’ve been informed that certain people are representing themselves as being the largest shareholders of the Company since they claim to represent the interest of the family in the Company. I am fully convinced that the documents which were executed by me under coercion and duress, post the demise of my son, at a time of mental and emotional vulnerability are being misused.

For the record, I state that I have not given any consent or officially nominated any person to come on the Board of the Company or any other Sona Group Company after my son’s demise or given any consent to any person to represent me in any capacity before the Company and or any other Sona Group Company.
