Overview
- Samaira and Kiaan Kapur told the court the document misspells their half-brother’s name and lists incorrect addresses for them, calling the will uncharacteristic of their father.
- Plaintiffs cited a digital trail showing the file originated on Nitin Sharma’s device with edits on March 17 and March 24 despite a March 21 execution date, and questioned uncertified WhatsApp records used to circulate a PDF.
- The will allegedly omits a standard asset schedule and key holdings, including overseas property and valuables, while internal inconsistencies were highlighted in listed bank accounts.
- Chain of custody is disputed, with counsel saying the named executor was not informed in advance, the original was handed over at the cremation, and the children have only seen a copy.
- Priya Kapur’s side denies fabrication and says electronic evidence supports the will; plaintiffs argue the estate’s distribution heavily favors Priya and her son, and the judge has sought a verified asset list under seal.
