Indian police detained a pigeon after finding that it carried a written warning message addressed to Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The bird was captured within the area of the heavily defended border with Pakistan.
Members of the Nation’s Border Security Force discovered the Pigeon at the City of Pathankot in India’s state of Punjab. This is also the location where militants based in Pakistan initiated a lethal attack on an airforce base in January.
In a telephone interview with AFP, Patahankot police inspector Rakesh Kumar said, “We took it into custody last evening.”
“The BSF found it with a note in Urdu saying something like ‘Modi, we’re not the same people from 1971. Now each and every child is ready to fight against India’,” Kumar added.
The last full-scale war that India fought with Pakistan was in 1971.
Kumar also said stated that the note was ostensibly signed the a Jihadist group based in Pakistan named Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT). He folowed with “so we are investigating the matter very seriously”.
New Delhi believes the same rebel group recently attacked an army base in Kashmir, killing several soldiers. Tensions remain on a very high level due to that raid.
India’s retaliatory strike – simultaneous cross-border assaults by special operations troops on militant bases, severely enraged Islamabad.
In connection with the pigeon incident, Indian forces found the same type of messages in two balloons in Punjab.
Jail birds
This is not the first instance that birds became involved in the seemingly perpetual hostilities between the nuclear-armed neighbors.
Indian police held a pigeon last year that they suspected of being used as an instrument for spying by Pakistan. It was X-rayed to spot any hidden surveillance equipment.
Furthermore, in 2013, soldiers found a dead falcon with a small camera attached. In 2010, another pigeon was also detained for being suspected spying.
