And just when the story seemed to be settling into familiar legal territory, senior advocate Mahesh Jethmalani, appearing against late industrialist Sunjay Kapur’s third wife Priya Kapur, dropped this bombshell in his latest court argument – “the attachment disappeared”.
Not deleted. Not corrupted.
Just… gone.
The Vanishing Act That Stunned the Courtroom
According to the Will produced by Priya Kapur, her star witness Dinesh Agarwal sent two emails with two separate attachments (one with Kapur family Trust Deed and the other with the signed Will) to alleged executor Shradha Suri Marwah. Shradha, in a move worthy of a thriller’s unreliable narrator, claims she “deleted” the attachment in the first email after Agarwal asked her to.
But t
hen came the bombshell that changed the energy inside the courtroom. “You cannot delete the attachment without deleting the email,” thundered Jethmalani, representing Sunjay’s children (with his second wife Karisma Kapoor), Samaira and Kiaan.
The email exists.
The attachment doesn’t.
A twist even the best screenwriters would hesitate to pull.
A Gap No Script Can Smooth Over
What makes the missing file even more suspicious is the timeline. Agarwal first sent an email with the wrong document attached. Moments later came the second email—the one where he claims to have attached the Will.
But now, that attachment has “vanished”. Priya’s filings reveal the email, reference the document… yet the file itself is missing.
As Jethmalani asked sharply,
“Why would she delete it?”
And even more dramatically:
“How is the emailed document mentioned in their own written statement if she deleted it?”
This is not merely a contradiction—it’s a cinematic cliffhanger.
The Suspicious Rise of the ‘Witnesses’
Adding spice to the mystery are the meteoric career leaps of Agarwal and Nitin Sharma, who both endorsed the disputed Will. Soon after Sunjay’s demise, Priya swept back into AIPL as director and then Managing Director. And both her witnesses suddenly found themselves rising inside the holding company.
Coincidence?
In a thriller, that’s usually the moment the audience screams: Of course not.
A Plot Point Too Convenient?
To Jethmalani, the pattern is unmistakable: a missing attachment, sudden promotions, an executor unwilling to probate the Will, and Priya’s swift return to corporate power.
Together, a few legal experts said, they suggest, “a coordinated effort to secure all of Sunjay Kapur’s personal assets in Priya Kapur’s name, excluding his children.”
And then Jethmalani delivered the line that could easily be the tagline of this entire saga:
“A Will that cannot withstand scrutiny at the most basic level cannot be trusted.”
The Kapur family drama now has everything—mystery, power moves, vanished evidence, shifting alliances—and the explosive question at its core:
Was the Will real, or is this inheritance battle being scripted by forces no one saw coming?
Additional Lawyer’s Quote:-
“Any dispute over Sunjay Kapur’s estate should be resolved through the courts. Issues like the removal and reinstatement of Priya Kapur, the promotions of witnesses, the executor’s hesitation, and the missing attachment are for the court to examine. The inconsistency over the deleted attachment adds a troubling dimension and raises questions about the circumstances and timing of the Will’s preparation. The High Court will review all evidence to ensure the rights of all beneficiaries, including Kapur’s children, are fully protected,” said Advocate Pratik Thadani, senior lawyer, Bombay High Court.
