The Delhi High Court has issued an order directing the preservation of assets belonging to the late Sunjay Kapur, the former husband of Bollywood actress Karisma Kapoor. Kapur passed away on June 12, 2025, after collapsing during a polo match in England. Reports indicate that he suffered a cardiac arrest.
Legal Proceedings Initiated
The court's directive comes in response to a petition filed by Kapur's family members seeking protection of his estate. The High Court has appointed a receiver to take charge of all movable and immovable properties, bank accounts, and other assets until further orders. This measure aims to prevent any unauthorized transfer or disposal of assets during the ongoing legal process.
Background of the Case
Sunjay Kapur, a businessman and former husband of Karisma Kapoor, died suddenly at the age of 48. His death occurred during a polo tournament in England, where he collapsed on the field and was later declared dead at a nearby hospital. The exact cause of death was confirmed as cardiac arrest. Following his demise, disputes over his estate have emerged, prompting the court to intervene.
The High Court's order also requires all financial institutions and entities holding Kapur's assets to cooperate with the receiver. The court has scheduled a further hearing to review the status of asset preservation and to address any claims from stakeholders.
Karisma Kapoor and Sunjay Kapur were married in 2003 and divorced in 2014. They have two children together. Since the divorce, Kapur had been involved in various business ventures. The court's decision underscores the legal complexities surrounding the estate of high-profile individuals.
