Rani Kapur Challenges Family Trust, Accuses Priya of Fraud and Asset Grab
In Sunjay Kapur’s mother Rani Kapur’s latest petition, Rani Kapur has challenged the legitimacy of the Rani Kapur Family Trust, alleging it was fraudulently set up in her name to divert control of key assets.
She has accused Priya of being the “chief mastermind” behind the alleged conspiracy, claiming that Priya and unidentified associates carried out malicious and illegal acts to deprive her of her rightful share of the family wealth.
Rani Kapur further alleged that Priya moved quickly to take control of the Sona Group and other Kapur holdings during the 13-day mourning period following her son’s death.
In her plea, Rani Kapur has sought a permanent injunction restraining Priya and others from acting on behalf of the trust or using its assets, and has urged the court to declare the trust fraudulent and invalid.
Supreme Court Notice Adds New Twist to Estate Dispute
The ongoing property dispute involving Karisma Kapoor, her children Samaira and Kiaan, and Sunjay Kapur’s third wife, Priya Sachdev Kapur, recently took a new turn after the Supreme Court issued a notice to Karisma Kapoor.
The notice was issued on a petition filed by Priya Sachdev Kapur, seeking certified copies of documents related to Karisma and Sunjay Kapur’s 2016 divorce. The court has asked Karisma Kapoor to respond within two weeks.
Why Priya Sachdev Is Seeking Divorce Documents
In her petition, Priya Sachdev stated that she is Sunjay Kapur’s legal heir and has a direct interest in matters related to his estate. She argued that the divorce documents are required for official use in a succession case pending before the Delhi High Court.
According to Priya, the documents would help verify details related to financial settlements and child custody arrangements agreed upon during Karisma and Sunjay’s divorce.
