Gun Insurance

The city of San Jose voted Tuesday to pass a law that will compel gun owners to take out insurance to cover any damage caused by their weapon, a move its mayor said was the first of its kind in the United States.

BJP president Amit Shah on Monday slammed the BJD government in Odisha for rejecting the Centre's newly launched flagship Ayushman Bharat health insurance scheme, saying Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik did so fearing defeat in the 2019 polls.

On July 10, insurance agent Kripal Singh was shot in the back, not far from his home in Uttar Pradesh's Shahjahanpur. A day later, he died of spinal injuries, becoming the latest victim in the Asaram Bapu rape case. Before dying, he named his attackers.

Selling lottery tickets, property, insurance, escort services and cheaper call rates via SMSes is passe. There's a new item on the menu now-- guns. When such an SMS was investigated and the corresponding phone number was dialled, it led MiD DAY to shops in Delhi's wholesale markets of Sadar Bazar and Chandni Chowk.
