New Delhi: Pakistan arrested a monkey, for crossing the Indian border in Bahawalpur on Monday, according to reports. A report in Pakistani daily 'The Express Tribune' said that locals tried to catch the monkey, but failed to do so.
The report said that the residents of the area informed the wildlife officials, who managed to capture the monkey.
The monkey was later placed at the Bahawalpur Zoo and has been named Bobby.
However, this is not the first time such a case of animal arrests has come across.
Last year, a pigeon was held in India under armed guard after it was caught on an alleged spying mission for Pakistan.
The bird was found by a local resident in Punjab.
Police officer Ramdas Jagjit Singh Chahal had told PTI that they suspected that the pigeon may have landed on Indian soil from Pakistan with a message, although no trace of a note was found.

Amnesty for the border-crossing monkey!
Maybe he was just planning to do the jobs that Pakistani monkeys won’t do.

They can catch monkeys and birds but not OBL?
Not that I believe the OBL story but whatever.

The details of this are coming out in a book this spring, by Edward Rome, “The Fall of Gibbon”.
Yeah, you’re right, I should have thought long and hard before posting that one.

He was easy to catch, because he had a tail on him.

The main mystery to this story is, why this monkey was carrying identity papers from India (or anywhere).
