'Don't Know What Happened To My Son, I Need Closure': Sunjay Kapur's Mother Breaks Silence

Last Updated:July 29, 2025, 10:51 IST

Rani Kapur statement came after Sona Comstar’s official stance that she has not held any direct or indirect involvement in the company since 2019.

Rani Kapur is the mother of late Sunjay Kapur, who passed away one month back.

Former Chairperson of Sona Comstar and mother of the late Sunjay Kapur, Rani Kapur, finally spoke publicly for the first time since her son’s untimely death in London. In her message, she demanded a steadfast resolve to protect the legacy she helped build alongside her late husband.

“I still don’t know what happened to my son," she was quoted as saying by news agency ANI. “I’m old now. I need closure before I go," Rani Kapur said.

However, Rani Kapur recalled her memories in which she elaborated on how she along with her husband, built Sona Comstar. “I remember the early days of Sona–built with care, sacrifice, and love," she shared, underscoring her enduring emotional connection to the company’s roots.

She spoke with clarity and conviction about her role in shaping the business, standing alongside her husband as they laid its foundation.

Her statement came after Sona Comstar’s official stance that Rani Kapur has not held any direct or indirect involvement in the company since 2019. Yet her words suggest otherwise–a quiet but determined challenge to that narrative, and a call to preserve her family’s vision and legacy.

“I am here to remind the world that our family’s legacy must not be lost. It must be passed on, as my husband always wanted it to be."

Rani Kapur further cited her declining health and stated that she would not make further public comments. “My legal team will address everything necessary," she said.

The controversy took another turn when Sona BLW Precision Forgings Ltd (Sona Comstar) issued a detailed response to Rani Kapur’s claims. The company called her allegations “baseless" and “legally untenable", asserting in a statement to the BSE that she has no standing in its affairs.

Prior to her public statement, Rani Kapur had addressed a letter to the board alleging that she was coerced into signing documents behind locked doors shortly after her son’s death, which she described as “highly suspicious".

She also claimed she had been denied access to her accounts and left dependent on a few individuals for basic survival. According to her, no one had been authorised to represent the Kapur family on the company’s board.

Sona BLW Precision Forgings has issued a fresh statement on July 28 amid a tussle over family representation on the board, clarifying that Rani Kapur, mother of late Sunjay Kapur, has ’no locus standi’ on any matter related to the company, denying any assertion of the firm being a family-run business as ‘factually incorrect and misleading’.
