'SPY' Pigeon from Pakistan 'Arrested' along International Borders in Kashmir!

After arresting spies, the Jammu and Kashmir Police is now arresting Spy Pigeons. The police were confused and surprised when a pigeon was handed over to them by the Border Security Force on Monday. 

The pigeon had a pink patch with a small tag on its leg. The police records mention that it is a “Pak Suspected Spy” and might be a part of an espionage attempt. 

The police have made special arrangements to hang the cage above ground to ensure that their new suspect is safe. 

“The pigeon flew into the house of one Geeta Devi in Chadwal area near the International Border at about 7 pm on Sunday. The pigeon was caught by her. On closer inspection, she noticed a ring on one of the legs of the pigeon,” NDTV cited in its report. 

"The ring had a phone number written on it. So, the pigeon was handed to Sarpanch Manyari of Chadwal village," a senior police officer told the media.

According to Police officials, birds are generally used to send messages across borders. However, they are not normally suspected. 

"We can't say it was used for spying. Locals, seeing a tag tied with its leg, caught the pigeon. Some called it a coded message. In Pakistan's Punjab, people tie number tag with pigeons to claim ownership," Senior Superintendent of Police of Kathua Shailendra Mishra told NDTV.

According to media reports, police haven’t found anything peculiar about the pigeon so far but a special division in Jammu is probing into the matter.
