The pigeon was captured by the fishermen and handed over to the marine police in Odisha's Paradip.
A pigeon fitted with devices, which appear to be a camera and a microchip, was caught from a fishing boat off the Paradip coast of Odisha's Jagatsinghpur district, with the police suspecting that the bird was being used for spying.
Some fishermen found the pigeon perched on their trawler a few days ago. The bird was captured and handed over to the marine police in Paradip on Wednesday.
"Our veterinarians will examine the bird. We will seek help of the State Forensic Science Laboratory for examining the devices attached to its legs. It appears that the devices are a camera and a microchip," Jagatsinghpur Superintendent of Police Rahul PR told PTI.
It also seems like something has been scribbled on the wings of the bird in a language unknown to the local police.
