Months after the death of industrialist Sunjay Kapur, the legal fight over his vast estate has intensified, with fresh controversy now surrounding the electronic records linked to his will. Samaira and Kiaan Kapur, the children of actor Karisma Kapoor and the late businessman, have reportedly sought criminal action against Priya Kapur, Sunjay Kapur’s third wife, raising questions over the authenticity of digital evidence presented before the Delhi High Court.
According to reports, the siblings have flagged several gaps in the so-called digital trail connected to the execution of their father’s will. These records, which quickly circulated online and became the subject of television debates, allegedly indicate that Priya Kapur’s mobile phone was located in New Delhi on March 21, 2025. The date holds importance, as Priya Kapur stated in a sworn affidavit that she was physically present in Gurugram on the same day when the disputed will was executed.
If the court accepts and verifies these electronic records, the discrepancy could prove crucial in a case involving an estate estimated to be worth around ₹30,000 crore. Legal experts say such contradictions often lead courts to examine claims more carefully. Advocate Swapnil Kothari noted that when electronic evidence does not align with statements made under oath, it usually prompts closer judicial scrutiny.
Earlier court filings had already questioned the will’s credibility, pointing to spelling mistakes, incorrect pronoun usage for the testator, and internal inconsistencies in the document. While each issue may seem minor on its own, critics argue that together they raise serious doubts, further complicating an already high-profile legal battle.
