Family Dispute Erupts Over Sona Comstar Control After Death
After the death of the Sona Comstar chairman, Sunjay Kapur, his mother Rani Kapur and the company's board are fighting over who controls the company.
Rani Kapur says that she was tricked into signing papers and that she should be in charge because of her late husband's will.
However, the company says she doesn't own any shares and that they did nothing wrong.
They held a meeting anyway and appointed Sunjay's wife to the board.
It's now up to the lawyers to sort it all out.
Rani Kapur, mother of the late Sunjay Kapur, is in a dispute with Sona Comstar's board.
She alleges she was coerced into signing documents after her son's death.
Kapur claims she is the rightful majority shareholder based on her late husband's will.
Sona Comstar denies her claims and states she hasn't held shares since 2019.
The company proceeded with the AGM and appointed Priya Sachdev Kapur, Sunjay's wife, as a director.
