The pigeon had flown across the heavily militarized border between the nuclear-armed nations of India and Pakistan. The bird was released when it was confirmed it was not a spy.
In 2016, another pigeon was taken into custody. It was a carrier pigeon that was had a note attached to it threatening the Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The origin of the note was never found. And there are no reports on what happened to the pigeon.
