Pigeon Accused Of Spying & Arrested By Police, Awaiting Trial In India
Jun 1, 2020
A PIGEON has been detained by police on the India-Pakistan border after being accused of being a spy.
The alleged operative was found on the Indian side having been painted pink and was carrying around on its foot a ring with numbers on.
Senior Superintendent of Kathua Police Shailendra Kumar Mishra told the The Times of India: "Locals captured it near our fences. 
"We have found a ring in its foot on which some numbers are written and further investigation is underway.
Police said though birds have no boundaries and many fly across international borders during migration, a coded ring tagged to the captured pigeon's body is a cause for concern as migratory birds don't have them.
The pigeon will remain in police custody until they have finished their investigations. See below: 
This is not the first time pigeon is intercepted by India Police. One officer told local media: "This is a sensitive area as it is just along International Border."Infiltration is also quite common along this route."
Tensions between the two nuclear-armed neighbours have reached boiling point after India carried out air strikes against Pakistani militants last year in Balakot - located in a remote valley in Pakistan's Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province.
