While some countries are having trouble spying on suspects, India has other worries. Police in the country have arrested a pigeon on charges that it may be a spy from Pakistan.
Yes, this is real news reported by the BBC. Apparently spy pigeons are a real thing over there, or at least police believe that to be the case.
The bird in question was taken into custody on Thursday after being discovered by a 14-year old boy in a village around 4km from the Pakistani border. The bird had a stamped message on its body written partly in Urdu, which is the official language of Pakistan.
The bird was X-rayed at police headquarters, but nothing suspicious was found. Even so, the pigeon remains in police custody, and it has been logged in as a suspected spy in the official police diary.' (Quoted from Yahoo news)
