If his wife owns part of Infosys, he essentially owns it too. Married couples tend to share their assets. Furthermore, his wife is a citizen of India, infosys is domiciled in india and indian courts tend to split marital assets in the middle in the case of a divorce.

It is pretty clear that Sunak is toast and that the people around him simply don't care anymore.
His wife isn't in government, and AFAIK Sunak owns no part of Infosys.
