Overview

  • At the Oct. 13 hearing, counsel for Samaira and Kiaan Kapur alleged the will was forged, pointing to a misspelt name for the son and an incorrect address for the daughter.
  • The children’s lawyer cited metadata indicating the document originated on Nitin Sharma’s device and showed edits on March 17 and March 24 despite a March 21 date.
  • Submissions highlighted a WhatsApp circulation of the PDF, gaps in electronic certification, a broken chain of custody, and the plaintiffs’ lack of access to inspect the original.
  • The plaintiffs said the document disproportionately benefits Priya Kapur and her son and referenced Sharma’s appointment as a company director shortly after the funeral.
  • Priya Kapur’s side denied fabrication and noted prior trust payouts to the children, while the court allowed a sealed asset list and said the issues warrant further scrutiny on Oct. 14.
