'The bird has been medically examined and was being kept in an air-conditioned room under police guard.'

Weird news story of the day that:

'Indian police are holding a pigeon under armed guard after it was caught on an alleged spying mission for arch rivals and neighbours Pakistan

Ramdas Jagjit Singh Chahal, a police officer, said he suspected that the pigeon had landed on Indian soil from Pakistan with a message, although no trace of a note has been found.

Officials have directed that no-one 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.'

In this time of Google Earth and mobile telephones why would Pakistan need to use a pigeon to send a message or spy in some way? But the mistrust of Pakistan in the Indian Punjab cannot be overstated.
