The unexpected demise of industrialist Sunjay Kapur on June 12, 2025, at Windsor's Guards Polo Club has been deemed a natural death by medical officials. However, a familial dispute over corporate and inheritance issues within the Sona Comstar family has cast a shadow over the verdict. Rani Kapur, Sunjay's mother, has formally asked UK authorities to initiate a criminal investigation, citing 'mysterious circumstances' surrounding his death.

According to insiders privy to the postmortem details, Kapur succumbed to cardiac-related ailments, specifically noted as Left Ventricular Hypertrophy and Ischaemic Heart Disease. The autopsy highlighted an enlarged heart and thickened ventricular walls, alongside mild coronary artery disease, with no significant past medical history. Medical professionals asserted the absence of external trauma or foul play, although Rani Kapur has lodged a formal complaint in the UK, insisting there are 'unexplained circumstances' that warrant further scrutiny.

A close family source emphasized the necessity for a comprehensive investigation, suggesting the involvement of UK police in examining every possible angle. Furthermore, U.S. officials are reportedly keeping tabs on the situation because Kapur held U.S. citizenship. Rani Kapur, emotionally affected during her public appeal, stressed the importance of preserving the family legacy, which she co-founded with her husband, while Sona Comstar rebuffed her claims, asserting she holds no influence in the company.
