Pigeon accused of being spy

A pigeon has been ”arrested” in India on suspicion of being a Pakistani spy – after it was caught wearing a wire device.

It became pigeon-impossible for the winged intruder when a young boy caught it in his village – around 4km from the Pakistani border – and turned him into the cops.

Pathankot’s senior superintendent of police Rakesh Kaushal told the Times of India: ”Nothing adverse has been found, but we have kept the bird in our custody.

”This is a rare instance of a bird from Pakistan being spotted here. We have caught a few spies here.”

And the country’s Intelligence Bureau issued an alert to Punjab Police to be weary of Pakistani terrorists.

The accused was also carrying a message written in Urdu – the national language of Pakistan – and a phone number.
