According to reports, the bird landed on the mud brick house of Ramesh Chandra, a barber, in Manwal village, 4 kilometres from Pakistan's border.Suspicions were aroused by the Urdu markings which were reported to the nearest police station by Chandra's son.His arrival there with the bird perched on a wire mesh along with Chandra's chicken created a stir.A part of the message was in Urdu, but the numbers appeared to be that of a landline telephone in Pakistan's Narowal district."Unfortunately, mobile phones rarely work in the border areas. My son ran to the nearest police post," Chandra said.The bird was then taken to a veterinary hospital in Pathankot for an X-ray which did not reveal any clues."Nothing adverse has been found, but we have kept the bird in our custody," said Pathankot senior superintendent of police (SSP) Rakesh Kaushal."This is a rare instance of a bird from Pakistan being spotted here. We have caught a few spies here. The area is sensitive, given its proximity to Jammu," said Kaushal.A diary entry was made at Bamiyal police station terming the bird as a "suspected spy", after which it was communicated to BSF and IB.The bird was found on a day when an inter-state meeting on security was being held among officials of Punjab Police, Indian Army as well as those from Kathua and Jammu districts.
