India claim Pakistani ‘spy’ pigeon caught

Indian authorities on Wednesday captured what they claim is a ‘spy’ pigeon from Pakistan.

Police in Chandigarh claimed that the white pigeon bore markings in Urdu and a seal. The pigeon was taken to a local veterinary hospital for an x-ray but no clues were discovered establishing any links with Pakistan.

According to Indian media reports the pigeon was flying in the border area during a meeting between Punjab Police and the Indian Army.
