Influencer Arrested in Sunjay Kapur Case

Delhi Police arrested social media influencer Dr Neelam Singh on Wednesday after a complaint alleging she posted objectionable material about the family of late businessman Sunjay Kapur, according to police accounts carried by multiple Indian news outlets. Singh is known online as “The Skin Doctor,” and the complaint was lodged at Vasant Kunj police station on behalf of the Kapur family, reports said. The arrest centers on social media posts made after Kapur’s death in London in June 2025. Police sources cited by Indian Express said Singh had allegedly posted “defamatory” tweets against Kapur’s family, while other reports described the material as objectionable or targeting the family. Delhi Police said further investigation was in progress.

Reporting on the case said a U.K. coroner later found that he died of natural causes, identifying left ventricular hypertrophy and ischaemic heart disease, and police there treated the death as non-suspicious.

Indian Express reported that the arrest came against the backdrop of an inheritance battle among Kapur’s relatives, while other outlets said the dispute involves assets estimated at about 30,000 crore rupees.
