A Delhi high court case has taken a dramatic turn as Rani Kapur, the mother of late businessman Sunjay Kapur, seeks to annul a family trust allegedly created to deprive her of her assets. The RK Family Trust, formed in 2017, holds a significant stake in Sona Comstar, an automotive component manufacturer. Rani Kapur claims that her son and his third wife, Priya Kapur, exploited her physical dependence after a stroke to orchestrate a complex scheme, transferring her assets into the trust without her consent. According to the court documents, the trust was allegedly created to benefit Sunjay Kapur during his lifetime and after his death, 60% of the assets were meant to go to Priya Kapur and the remaining portion to their grandchildren. However, Rani Kapur alleges that she never knowingly executed any trust that excluded her from the benefits or restricted the enjoyment to one branch of the family. She claims that her signatures on the trust deed were forged and that she was unaware of the document's contents. The high court has been asked to declare the RK Family Trust null and void, citing alleged forgery and illegal transfer of assets. Rani Kapur has named 23 parties, including Priya Kapur and their grandchildren, as defendants in the case. This development comes days after the court reserved a verdict in a plea by Sunjay Kapur's children, Samaira and Kiaan, to prevent Priya Kapur and their youngest son, Azarius, from creating a third-party interest in their father's properties.
