Priya Sachdev Kapur, wife of the late Sunjay Kapur and a trustee/beneficiary of the RK Family Trust, issued a notice on March 24, 2026, removing her mother-in-law Rani Kapur as trustee effective March 25, 2026. This escalates the ongoing dispute within the family of Sona BLW Precision Forgings founder.
Reasons for Removal
Priya accused Rani of breaching fiduciary duties by challenging the trust’s validity while claiming its assets, creating conflicts with beneficiary interests and trust deed provisions. The notice invokes Clause 8.11, stripping Rani of authority over administration, meetings, properties, or documents.
Trust Background
Established in 2017 by Rani, the irrevocable trust benefited Sunjay Kapur (former Sona Comstar chairman) during his lifetime, now Priya and children. The feud involves control over significant assets post-Sunjay’s death.
Ongoing Legal Battle
Rani previously sought Priya’s removal; both sides contest trust validity in court. Priya asserts sole trusteeship, barring Rani from interference amid intensifying family conflict.
