SHOCKING TWIST: Priya Sachdev Accused of Killing Husband Sanjay Kapoor for Money — Mother-in-law Rani Kapoor Breaks Her Silence

In a chilling turn of events that has rocked Mumbai’s elite circles, Priya Sachdev, the glamorous wife of real estate tycoon Sanjay Kapoor, has come under the spotlight after her mother-in-law made a stunning revelation, accusing her of murdering Sanjay for money.

The shocking allegation was made by Rani Kapoor, Sanjay’s 68-year-old mother, in a tearful press briefing late Sunday night, just days after Sanjay was found dead under mysterious circumstances in their luxury Pali Hill apartment.

“My son did not die a natural death — he was murdered, and I believe Priya did it for his wealth, for his insurance, for her greed,” Rani Kapoor said, trembling with emotion. “She had everything, and still it wasn’t enough for her.”

According to the official report, Sanjay Kapoor, 44, was discovered unresponsive in his bed on July 25, 2025. Initially believed to be a cardiac arrest, the case took a dramatic turn after the autopsy revealed traces of a rare neurotoxin in his bloodstream — a substance not commonly found outside of forensic labs or high-level poisoning cases.

Mumbai Police have now launched a full-scale homicide investigation, with Priya as the prime suspect.

The Perfect Wife — or the Perfect Illusion?

Friends and acquaintances described Priya as the epitome of charm and sophistication — always impeccably dressed, attending fashion galas, charity balls, and often seen on Sanjay’s arm during high-profile events. But behind closed doors, sources now claim the couple’s marriage was falling apart.

“She was cold to him in the last year,” said a former staff member who requested anonymity. “They lived like strangers. He slept in one room, she in another. And every time we brought him something, she’d ask if he changed his will.”

Investigators have discovered that Sanjay recently revised his life insurance policy, naming Priya as the sole beneficiary of a ₹120 crore claim — a staggering amount that raised eyebrows even before his death.

Further complicating the case, a domestic help revealed that Sanjay had confided in him about feeling unwell and paranoid. “He told me, ‘Something’s wrong with my food,’” the helper told police. “He even said, ‘If anything happens to me, tell my mother it wasn’t an accident.’”

Rani Kapoor Demands Justice

Rani Kapoor, dressed in a simple white saree, broke down multiple times during the press conference. “Sanjay was my only son. I raised him alone after his father died. And now… he’s gone too. If Priya is guilty, I will not rest until she is behind bars.”

When asked why she waited to speak out, Rani said she was gathering courage and praying for clarity. “But when the toxicology report came, I knew my instincts were right. I knew she killed him.”

Priya Sachdev has denied all allegations and has not yet been formally charged. Through her lawyer, she issued a brief statement:
“I am devastated by my husband’s death. Any accusation against me is false and cruel. I will fully cooperate with the investigation.”

Police are now reviewing CCTV footage, phone records, and internet searches conducted on devices at the home. One officer revealed, “We are not ruling anything out — from intentional poisoning to a slow-burn murder over weeks.”

What Happens Next?

The case is gaining massive public interest, with news channels running 24/7 coverage and netizens comparing it to real-life crime thrillers like the Aarushi Talwar case or the Shraddha Walkar murder.

But for Rani Kapoor, this isn’t about headlines — it’s about justice.

“I won’t let my son’s killer walk free,” she said, eyes blazing. “Money can buy silence, but not this time.”
