Entertainment: A new twist has emerged in the inheritance dispute as Priya Kapoor opposes the forensic examination of her late husband Sanjay Kapoor’s alleged will. The alleged executor of the will has repeatedly changed her statement regarding how she obtained the document. On Tuesday, before Delhi High Court Joint Registrar Gagandeep Jindal, Sanjay Kapoor’s third wife, Priya Sachdev Kapoor, opposed the forensic examination of the will. This document forms the basis of her claim to Sanjay Kapoor’s personal assets and control over the Sona Comstar Group, whose assets are valued at over ₹30,000 crore.
The forensic examination was requested by Kapoor’s children from his first marriage, Samaira and Kian Raj Kapoor. They argue that a scientific examination is necessary to verify the authenticity of the will.
Suspicion has been fueled by the changing statements of Shraddha Suri Marwah, who has been named the executor of the will. On Tuesday, Suri filed an application in the High Court seeking to amend her earlier statement regarding how and from whom she first received the will. She admitted that her previous statement to the court was incorrect.
Initially, Suri told the court that Priya Kapoor had given her the will on June 24. She later changed her statement, claiming she received it from Dinesh Agarwal on June 14. Now, after reviewing Priya Kapoor’s statements, Suri has reverted to her original claim, once again stating that Priya Kapoor was the source of the document.
During the hearing on November 27, Suri’s lawyer informed the court that he had emailed Agarwal asking to speak to the lawyer or legal expert who drafted the will, but received no response. Legal experts say this is unusual for someone handling such a large estate. Suri has also admitted that he was unaware of his appointment as executor, that he did not receive any independent legal advice, and that he was not fully informed about the contents of the will.
Mahesh Jethmalani, the lawyer representing Samaira and Kian, has argued that under Indian law, a person cannot be appointed as an executor without their prior consent. If the will fails the legal scrutiny, Sanjay Kapoor’s property will be divided equally among all Class I heirs, including the two children who were excluded from the disputed document. The Delhi High Court will hear arguments on both the request for a forensic examination and Suri’s amendment application on January 20, 2026.
Priya Kapoor objected to the forensic examination of Sanjay Kapoor’s will.
