A month after industrialist billionaire Sunjay Kapur died in the UK, his mother Rani Kapur has written to the Sona Comstar Board seeking a deferral of the Annual General Meeting (AGM), which was scheduled to take place on Friday. Rani, who is also the former Chairperson of Sona Comstar, has also raised serious questions over the circumstances surrounding her son's sudden death in London. She has sought a deferment of the AGM by at least two weeks.
In a letter to the board, Rani has alleged coercion, misuse of documents and attempts to usurp family legacy after her son's death. Sunjay held the post of Chairman at Sona Comstar at the time of his death. Sunjay reportedly swallowed a bee and suffered a cardiac arrest while playing Polo in London.
'Truth doesn't match the headlines'
Rani Kapur has alleged that Sanjay Kapur's death is being wrongly labelled, adding that the facts point to something 'far more troubling.'
"For my client, as a mother, it's deeply painful to watch this being dismissed as a mere freak accident and cardiac arrest. The truth doesn't match the headlines," said her legal counsel, senior advocate Vaibhav Gaggar to ANI."She would not stay silent until that truth is acknowledged," he added.
Rani further alleged that soon after her son's death, she was coerced into signing some documents under stress.
