"The investigation has been closed," the office said. Rani Kapur also claims to have been coerced into signing key documents while under mental and emotional distress from her son's death."It is unfortunate that while the family and I are still in mourning, some people have chosen this as an opportune time to wrest control and usurp the family legacy," she also asked Sona Comstar's board to postpone its annual general meeting (AGM) - which was set for 25 July - to decide on a new director who would be a representative of the Kapur didn't specify who she meant by "some people", but Sona Comstar held the AGM the next day anyway and appointed Sunjay's wife Priya as a non-executive her letter, Rani Kapur claimed she was the sole beneficiary of her late husband's estate in a will left behind in 2015 which included a majority stake in Sona Group, including Sona company has strongly denied Rani Kapur's claims and said that she has had "no role, direct or indirect, in Sona Comstar since at least 2019".The board also said it had no compulsion to defer to her notice and that the AGM was conducted "in full compliance with the law".

According to the company's filings, Sunjay Kapur was the sole beneficiary of the RK Family Trust, which controls the promoters' stake in Sona Comstar via Aureus Investments."Looking at the company structure, at this point of time, Rani Kapur doesn't feature as a registered shareholder so won't have any voting rights. But there is the matter of the RK Family Trust and Aureus investments.

Emma Little-Pengelly defends Wimbledon trip after calls for £1k cost to be repaid
The Deputy First Minister has defended her trip to Wimbledon after calls for the £1,000 she billed the taxpayer to be returned. Emma Little-Pengelly said it was 'hugely positive' that she could represent Northern Ireland by attending the tournament. Ms Little-Pengelly and her husband, Education Authority chief executive Richard Pengelly, were pictured at the event last month. The pair were snapped in centre court's Royal Box alongside celebrities including US pop star Olivia Rodrigo, England football boss Thomas Tuchel and wrestler John Cena. It later emerged the taxpayer footed the bill for Ms Little-Pengelly's attendance. Some £980 was spent on flights and accommodation. On Friday Alliance deputy leader Eóin Tennyson urged her to repay the money. Mr Tennyson said it "beggars belief that the Deputy First Minister saw fit to take a jolly to Wimbledon on the taxpayers' dime.' His statement added: 'The only decent thing to do, at this point, would be for the Deputy First Minister to pay the money back.' Ms Little-Pengelly addressed the controversy for the first time in a post on X on Friday night. She said her role as Deputy First Minister involved 'leading from the front', saying she has 'worked tirelessly to champion Northern Ireland at every opportunity'. 'In this role we have the huge privilege too of being invited to attend Northern Ireland, Irish and UK events of national significance, including sporting events,' she said. 'I count it a huge honour to have been invited as DFM to attend the Royal Box at Wimbledon at the invitation of the chair of the club. 'The organisers invite a mix of political, government, investors, business along with the world of sport and entertainment, and of course royalty, as part of the official aspect of the tournament in the Royal Box. 'It is hugely positive that Northern Ireland is invited to be represented at this significant UK British national sporting event, of huge global impact. News Catch Up - Friday 8th August 'Wimbledon generates over £200million for the UK economy. I was hugely honoured to be asked to support the event and to represent officially as DFM. 'I will always be the biggest champion of this wonderful place of Northern Ireland. 'I will always do my best to promote us at every opportunity and it is the biggest honour of my life to ensure our voice is heard. 'As a unionist, I am determined too to play my part in supporting and promoting all that is fantastic about our UK. 'Some will criticise, some will try and attack. It will not diminish nor distract me from my drive and determination. It will not stop my positivity and championing Northern Ireland.'

More than €66m unclaimed from Deposit Return Scheme last year
Irish consumers last year turned their back on €66.7 million when they failed to cash in their deposits for soft drink containers through the Government's Deposit Return Scheme (DRS). That is according to the 2024 annual report for Re-turn, which shows that the failure by consumers to redeem the €66 million worth in deposits for their soft drink containers was the chief reason behind the State-backed firm to record a pre-tax surplus of €51.3 million for 2024. Advertisement Re-Turn went live with its Deposit Return Scheme operations on February 1st 2024 with the aim to significantly increase the recycling rates of bottles and cans. Last year, 877.85 million containers were returned made up of 433.2 million plastic bottles and 444.6 million cans. The annual report shows Re-turn recorded revenues of €114.4 million in 2024. This included the €66.7 million in unredeemed deposits and €47.7 million made up of €17.2 million from the sale of material and €30.5 million from 'producer fees'. Advertisement The annual report discloses that the income from unredeemed deposits has resulted in a VAT settlement by Re-turn of €23.7 million. The company's 2024 costs totalled €62.2 million made up of direct collection and recycling costs of €46.5 million and administrative expenses of €15.7 million, which included a spend of €4.6 million on "marketing, communications, and public awareness". The report says the €66.7 million reflects the recognition of unredeemed deposits for the financial year and 'this is after a €36.5 million estimate of deposits expected to be returned post year end'. The report says that 'unredeemed deposits are an expected and routine scenario for deposit return schemes and it was anticipated that in the initial transition period redemptions would be low and therefore there would be a high level of unredeemed deposits. Advertisement "As a not-for-profit organisation, in the early stages of our maturity, the fees from unredeemed containers are being reinvested in a number of ways," the report says. :These include paying off initial scheme set-up costs; infrastructure development; consumer education campaigns and contributing to our legally required contingency reserve." The report adds that income from unredeemed deposits 'is expected to significantly reduce as the scheme reaches its targeted redemptions of 90 per cent in the coming years'. The report states that 'in the long term, should unredeemed deposits be higher than forecast, we would support initiatives that drive increased adoption of the scheme as well as investing in broader innovative projects designed to further the country's circular economy strategy'. Advertisement The report states that Re-turn closed the year with a cash balance of €89.8 million. The report states that this cash figure will reduce significantly in 2025 when several significant draw-downs are scheduled and after accounting for these factors the adjusted cash balance would reduce to approximately €32 million. The significant draw-downs include a VAT settlement on unredeemed deposits of €23.7 million; a provision of €13.8 million for Re-turn's contingency reserve fund; a settlement of the remaining €11.7 million balance of the facility agreement with Bank of Ireland grant settlement of about €3.2 million to retailers in respect of 2024, and a provision of €5.4 million for corporation tax arising on surplus in the scheme. Ireland 1.6 billion bottles and cans returned through Depo... Read More In comments attached to the report, chief executive of Re-turn Ciaran Foley said: 'Thanks to the incredible buy-in and adoption from the Irish public, 877 million containers were returned through DRS in 2024, equating to an average 66 per cent post transition period recycling rate. Advertisement 'The seasonality of the soft drinks market was reflected in some even higher months, such as in August when the return rate reached 75 per cent. Every 1 per cent increase equates to around 19 million containers, and we recorded some daily returns of over 5 million products over the Christmas period. Chair of Re-turn Tony Keohane said the launch of the scheme in February 2024 marked a defining milestone in the country's journey toward a more sustainable future. 'From a standing start in Autumn 2022, the scheme collected more than 877 million drinks containers in its first 11 months,' Mr Keohane said. 'In that short time, we've seen Irish consumers recycle more bottles and cans than ever before and do so in a way that produces high quality recyclate, helping build a truly circular economy.'
