Priya Sachdev Kapur, the widow of Sunjay Kapur, is embroiled in a legal dispute over his multimillion-dollar estate. The dispute took a turn when Sunjay's mother Rani Kapur issued a formal notice seeking the removal of Priya Kapur as a trustee from the RK Family Trust.
The notice, dated March 21, states that Priya Kapur is alleged to have been appointed as a trustee following a meeting on June 25, 2025, after Sunjay's demise. However, the existence and validity of the RK Family Trust are under challenge before the Delhi High Court.
Rani Kapur claims that the trust is alleged to hold assets claimed by her as her own, and raises questions about the trust's validity and its administration. The notice refers to Clause 8.12(i) of the trust deed, which empowers Rani Kapur to remove a trustee without assigning reasons.
The notice communicates that Priya Kapur will stand removed from the position of trustee upon the expiry of 15 days from the date of receipt of the notice. It clarifies that the step is without prejudice to Rani Kapur's legal claims and defences, including her challenge to the creation of the trust, the transfer of assets into it, and the validity of the appointment of trustees.
