Family Feud Over ₹30,000 Crore Sona Group Takes a Dark Turn After Polo Death in London
The sudden death of industrialist Sunjay Kapur, 53, during a polo match in London on June 12 has taken a dramatic twist. What was initially listed as a cardiac arrest—possibly due to an anaphylactic shock—is now being questioned by his mother, Rani Kapur, who alleges a “transnational conspiracy” involving murder, fraud, and forgery.
🔍 What Rani Kapur Alleges in Her Letter to UK Police
In a detailed and emotionally charged letter, Rani Kapur claims she has uncovered:
- Credible evidence suggesting foul play in her son’s death.
- Potential involvement of individuals in the UK, India, and the US.
- Allegations of murder, conspiracy, abetment, forgery, and financial fraud.
- Suspicious legal documents, asset transfers, and dubious filings.
- Coercion in signing legal papers while grieving.
She named her daughter-in-law, Priya Sachdev Kapur (Sunjay’s third wife), as one of the key figures potentially benefiting from the situation.
“There are compelling reasons to believe his death may have been orchestrated as part of a coordinated conspiracy,” she wrote.

Rani Kapur, who claims to be the majority shareholder, demanded a halt to the Sona Comstar AGM and raised concerns about:
- Being forced to sign legal documents under distress.
- Alleged irregular appointments, particularly pointing toward Priya Sachdev Kapur.
- “Gross illegalities” in the company’s internal dealings.

Additionally, Sona Comstar sent a cease-and-desist notice to Rani Kapur, accusing her of defamation and spreading misinformation.

Despite being at the center of Rani Kapur’s allegations, Priya Sachdev Kapur has not made any public statements regarding the controversy.
