Pigeon held in India on suspicion of spying for Pak :

NEW DELHI: Indian police are holding a pigeon under armed guard after it was caught on an alleged spying mission for arch rivals and neighbours Pakistan, media reported on Friday. . .

The pigeon had a ring around its foot and a Pakistani phone number and address stamped on its body in red ink. . .

Officials have directed that no-one should be allowed to visit the pigeon, which police say may have been on a “special mission of spying”.

The bird has been medically examined and was being kept in an air-conditioned room under police guard. . .

This is not a normal part of the world.
