Sunjay Kapur's Inheritance Battle Questions Digital Evidence
Sunjay Kapur, a businessman and former husband of Bollywood actor Karisma Kapoor, passed away in June 2024.
His family is now in a legal battle over his will, which is worth a lot of money.
The problem is that some people think the will might not be real because there are no clear signs that Sunjay Kapur was really involved in making it.
His phone, which could help prove the will is real, is missing.
Also, the people who were supposed to witness the will signing might not have been there at the same time.
This makes the will seem less trustworthy.
The court is trying to figure out if the will is real and who should get Sunjay Kapur's money.
Sunjay Kapur's will is being questioned for its authenticity and procedural lapses.
Key evidence, including Sunjay Kapur's mobile phone, is missing, making it hard to verify the will.
Witnesses' signatures on the will are questionable due to lack of certification and potential absence during signing.
Legal flaws include non-compliance with attestation requirements and discrepancies in the will's execution location.
Sunjay Kapur's children with Karisma Kapoor have been allegedly excluded from the will, raising concerns about his intentions.
