Pigeon ARRESTED for carrying threatening message to Indian Prime Minister

A pigeon has been arrested and hauled into custody after he was found carrying a threatening message to the Prime Minister of India.

The letter, written in Urdu, was addressed to Narendra Modi and referenced the 1971 war between India and Pakistan.

It read: “Modi, we’re not the same people from 1971. Now each and every child is ready to fight against India.”

The note was apparently signed by Pakistan-based militant group Lashkar-e-Taiba.

Inspector of Narot Jaimal Singh police station (Pathankot) Ramesh Kumar said: “The pigeon was carrying the letter when it was found.”

Confirming the bird had been taken into custody, he added: “We are investigating the matter.”

The note was apparently signed by the Pakistan-based militant group Lashkar-e-Taiba.

The arrested bird was found at Pathankot in the northern state of Punjab - where Pakistani militants launched a deadly attack on an airforce base in January.
