A pigeon that had been detained in India for eight months on suspicion of being a Chinese spy has finally been released into the wild, reports the NY Post.
The bird was captured near a Mumbai port in May when people noticed two rings tied to its legs, with writing that resembled Chinese letters. This led to speculation that the pigeon was a Chinese agent seeking confidential information from India.
However, after a thorough investigation, it was determined that the pigeon was actually an open-water racing bird that had escaped from Taiwan and migrated to India.
Once the pigeon was cleared of any espionage activities, it was transferred to the Bombay Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, where it was set free on Tuesday.
