Indian forces claim to have captured another ‘Pakistani spy pigeon’ near Kahagarh, Amritsar.
The brave pigeon was found carrying a “suspicious piece of paper tied to its legs” on 17 April when it perched on the shoulder of an Indian officer who was on guard duty some 500 m from the border.
As per the initial inquiry report on the matter, an FIR has been lodged at Kahagarh police station in Amritsar.

Indian security forces had engaged in a similar operation in May last year when a pigeon “with a prominent pink patch and a tag on its leg” was captured as a “suspected Pakistani spy”.
As preposterous as it seems to be, the Indian media had proclaimed that the pigeon was part of “an espionage attempt from Pakistan”.
