Tis poor pigeon was innocent and was probably not even compensated with seeds.

It is not the first time a bird has come under police suspicion in India.
In 2020, police in Indian-controlled Kashmir released a pigeon belonging to a Pakistani fisher after a probe found that the bird, which had flown across the heavily militarized border between the nuclear-armed nations, was not a spy.
In 2016, another pigeon was taken into custody after it was found with a note that threatened Indian prime minister Narendra Modi.
Freedom for all those pigeons!
Wait, so they charged and detained a bird? Cool I guess, but as fwr as I know, pigeons don’t have human rights and can be shot on site without trial for suspicions of espionage or just cause you like to kill pigeons. Would this pigeon get it’s day in court had its Innocence not been proven before a trial date?
