Businessman’s sudden death during polo match ends in medical closure — but mother Rani Kapur’s foul play claims face scrutiny.
British Coroner’s Report Ends Speculation on Sunjay Kapur’s Death
The sudden death of Indian businessman Sunjay Kapur, who passed away last month while playing polo in London, has now been officially attributed to natural causes, the Surrey Coroner’s office confirmed in a medical report sent to his wife, Priya Sachdev Kapur.
This comes amidst an ongoing legal and family dispute involving claims of foul play, conspiracy, and control over the Rs 30,000 crore Sona Group empire.
⚖️ Coroner’s Findings: Cause of Death
- Cause: Natural
- Conditions Identified:
- Left Ventricular Hypertrophy (LVH) – thickening of the heart wall, linked to high blood pressure
- Ischemic Heart Disease – restricted blood flow to the heart muscle due to narrowed arteries
The report stated:
“The investigation has revealed he died of natural causes. There will be no inquest under Section 4 of the Coroners and Justice Act 2009.”
Claims of Conspiracy by Rani Kapur
Last week, Sunjay Kapur’s mother, Rani Kapur, wrote to Surrey Police, alleging her son’s death may have involved foul play, citing:
- Alleged forgery of documents
- Dubious asset transfers
- Suspicious legal filings
- Claims of a transnational conspiracy involving individuals in the UK, India, and the US
However, sources close to Priya Kapur confirmed the coroner’s findings were shared with Rani before she made these allegations and dismissed them as “bewildering and unfounded.”
The Ongoing Legal and Corporate Battle
Following Sunjay’s death, Rani Kapur:
- Wrote to Sona Comstar, claiming to be the majority shareholder
- Demanded the AGM be postponed
- Alleged she was coerced into signing legal documents
- Accused the board of enabling Priya Kapur’s control
📢 Company’s Response:
- Declared Rani Kapur has not been a shareholder since 2019
- Referred to Sunjay Kapur as the sole beneficial owner
- Issued a cease-and-desist letter against her statements
No Public Comment from Priya Sachdev Kapur
While Rani Kapur continues her public pursuit of justice, Priya Sachdev Kapur has remained silent on the matter. Sunjay’s widow is now supported by the British medical investigation that closes the case from a legal standpoint.
Final Word: A Family Divided, A Legacy Contested
As Sunjay Kapur’s passing triggers a high-profile inheritance feud, the British coroner’s report brings medical clarity but leaves lingering emotional and legal tensions within the Kapur family unresolved.
