Punjab Police have said they have “taken into custody” a pigeon that was found near the state’s border with Pakistan, carrying a note with a threat message for Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

According to the NDTV, the police had said officers of the Border Security Force or BSF had found the bird in Pathankot, where terrorists had attacked an Air Force base in January this year.

A police inspector, Rakesh Kumar, told news agency AFP that the bird was found with a note in Urdu tied to it. “It said something like ‘Modi, we’re not the same people from 1971. Now each and every child is ready to fight against India’,” Kumar said.

He said the note was apparently signed by the terror group Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) and “so, we are investigating the matter seriously.”

Security forces are on high alert at the borders with Pakistan in Punjab and Jammu and Kashmir amid heightened tension after terrorists sneaked into India two weeks ago and attacked an Army base in Kashmir’s Uri, killing 19 soldiers.
