INDIAN police are holding a pigeon under armed guard after it was caught on an alleged spying mission for arch rival and neighbour Pakistan.
The white-coloured bird was found by a local resident in India's Punjab state, which borders Pakistan, and taken to a police station 40km from the capital Amritsar.
The pigeon had a ring around its foot and a Pakistani phone number and address stamped on its body in red ink.
Police officer Ramdas Jagjit Singh Chahal told the Press Trust of India (PTI) news agency that they suspected the pigeon may have landed on Indian soil from Pakistan with a message, although no trace of a 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".

Do you think they will waterboard the pigeon?
the bird isn’t talking...he’s no stool pigeon

I detect some fowl play here. Nothing like a little covert spying to ruffle a few feathers.
So what, Pakistan has been giving India the bird for years.....
A pigeon race, thats why the name tag, so the bird can be returned if lost....what idiot spy would put his name on a stool pigeon..
