Georgia state officials arrested Colin Gray, the father of 14-year-old Colt Gray, who is suspected of carrying out Wednesday’s shooting at Apalachee High School. Colt Gray allegedly used an AR-15-style semiautomatic rifle in the attack, which left four people dead and nine others wounded. Authorities are investigating how the teenager obtained the weapon that was reportedly purchased by his father months after the family had been questioned about potential school threats. Investigators revealed that Colt Gray's rifle was used to kill two teachers and two students at the high school. The Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI) confirmed Colin Gray's arrest on Thursday. «In coordination with District Attorney Brad Smith, the GBI has arrested Colin Gray, age 54, in connection to the shooting at Apalachee High School. Colin is Colt Gray's father,» the GBI posted on X, formerly known as Twitter. Last year, both father and son were questioned by local authorities after threats appeared on a Discord account hinting at violence at a school. However, at that time, there was no concrete evidence linking them to the threats. Jackson County Sheriff Janis Mangum explained, «This case was worked, and at the time the boy was 13, and it wasn't enough to substantiate. If we get a judge's order or we charge somebody, we take firearms for safekeeping.»

IRDAI) has introduced new regulations that change how premiums are collected for both life and health insurance policies, particularly those requiring medical examinations. Under the new rules, insurers are no longer allowed to collect the initial premium along with the proposal form unless the policy can be issued immediately based on a declaration of good health. The regulator's move will prevent customer money from sitting idle with insurance companies until a policy is issued, or to avoid complications with refunding premiums if the proposal is rejected or additional requirements are not met. For policies requiring medical checks, insurers will now review and accept the proposal before collecting the premium. As a result, distributors will need to visit customers twice — first to collect necessary documents and then to collect the premium after insurer approval.

Supreme Court has reserved its verdict on pleas filed by Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal seeking bail and challenging his arrest by CBI for his alleged involvement in the Delhi excise policy case. Senior lawyer Abhishek Manu Singhvi, appearing for Kejriwal, said his arrest was nothing but an «insurance arrest», implying that CBI arrested him only to ensure that even if the CM gets bail in the ED case, he remains behind bars in CBI case. The CBI counsel alleged the Punjab government, at Kejriwal's behest, has denied sanction to prosecute some state officials who allegedly arm-twisted the owner of a Punjab-based distillery to comply with the alleged bribe demands. The counsel said the probe regarding that is stalled since the AAP government there hasn't given sanction under Section 17A of the Prevention of Corruption Act.
