A pigeon, suspected of espionage for China, was detained for eight months by Indian police. The pigeon was captured near a port in Mumbai with two rings tied to its legs featuring words that appeared to be Chinese.
Police suspected the bird was involved in espionage and took it in. The animal welfare organization, PETA, intervened after hearing that the pigeon had been held at an animal hospital for eight months. The investigation concluded with the pigeon being exonerated of all suspicions, leading to its release back into the wild. Mumbai police could not be reached for comment.
