De Indiase politie heeft een Pakistaanse spion gearresteerd. Op het lijf van de spion waren met rode inkt een Pakistaans adres en een telnummer geschreven.
Tijdens de ondervraging gaf de spion alles toe met een aanhoudend roekoeroekoe. Het betreft namelijk een duif. Volgens de Indiase politie geen gewone duif maar een postduif. Het dier werd gevangen in de betwistte provincie Punjab. India neemt het zekere voor het onzekere en laat de duif bewaken. Ondanks protesten van Amnesty International mag de vogel geen bezoek ontvangen. Advocaat Bram Moskowicz heeft al laten weten het te druk te hebben met Eva Jinek.

India arrests Pakistani bird for spying. Pigoen in jail under armed guard

Pakistan Daily - Indian police are holding a pigeon under armed guard after it was caught on an alleged spying mission for arch rivals Pakistan. The white bird was found in India’s Punjab state, which borders Pakistan, and taken to a police station. The pigeon had a ring around its foot and a Pakistani phone number and address stamped on its body in red ink. [read on>>]

Police officer Ramdas told the India news agency that they suspected the pigeon may have landed on Indian soil from Pakistan with a message, although no note has been found.

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.
Senior officers have asked to be kept updated on the situation three times a day, PTI said.

Chahal said local pigeon fanciers in the sensitive border area had told police that Pakistani pigeons were easily identifiable as they look different from Indian ones, according to the Indian Express newspaper.
