Pigeon from Pak probed by cops
A pigeon is being inspected by officials from the state intelligence and the Army after it was found to have \"some words written in Urdu\" on its wings.
​Chandigarh: A pigeon is being inspected by officials from the state intelligence and the Army after it was found to have "some words written in Urdu" on its wings.
Officials suspect the avian which was found in Punjab's Hoshiarpur district, apparently flew from Pakistan.
The white pigeon was spotted by Naresh Kumar, a resident of Motla village in the district, on Thursday at his house. He noticed something written on its wings in Urdu and brought it to the notice of police, which took the bird into custody on Friday.
The bird was "inspected" by the sleuths of security agencies and an X-ray scan was also conducted on it. "Police found some numerical digits stamped on the bird's wings. We are trying to ascertain if it is a mobile number and if the pigeon came from Pakistan," said DSP, Mukerian, Bhupinder Singh. "There is a stamp and something written in Urdu on its wings.
Besides, an eleven-digit number was also found on its body," SHO, Mukerian, Jaswinderpal Singh said. "We got the writing translated...Sunday, Wednesday, Thursday is written on the pigeon's body," he said. Last year, a pigeon with some words written in Urdu was found by villagers in the Bamial sector of Pathankot district.
