The Border Security Force (BSF) rescued two white peacocks in West Bengal's Nadia district on Friday while the birds were being smuggled into India from Bangladesh, an officer of the paramilitary force said. During patrolling near Burnpur-Matiari border outpost early on Friday, BSF personnel spotted two men hiding in the woods close to the international border, he said.
