The sudden death of Indian tycoon Sunjay Kapur, heir to the $3.6 billion auto parts empire Sona Comstar, has sparked a bitter inheritance dispute. His mother, Rani Kapur, alleges suspicious circumstances surrounding his death and claims coercion into signing key documents. She disputes the appointment of Kapur's widow, Priya Sachdev, as a director and challenges the company's claim that she has no stake in the business. Sona Comstar denies Rani Kapur's allegations, and the dispute highlights the common issue of messy family succession in India's largely family-controlled businesses.
