Pakistani spy pigeon: The proof

Yesterday, Indian police detained a pigeon at the border with Pakistan, after it was found carrying a warning note to Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Last year as well, India had arrested a pigeon, which it claimed to be a spy from Pakistan. While we wait for further news, here's the proof the Indian government provided following last year's arrest.

Last week, Indian authorities announced the capture of a Pakistani spy pigeon. The Indian intelligence agency, RAW, claimed that the pigeon was specially trained by the Pakistani spy agency, the ISI, to fly into Indian territory on a spying mission.

To corroborate its claims, RAW released some photos (taken by a RAW parrot) that shows the Pakistani pigeon indulging in various spying actives in and over India. RAW chief, Roger Binny, told reporters that the photos also proved that the Pakistani pigeon (code name: Ghutarghoon Khan) had been conducting spying missions in India for many years, maybe even decades!

Below are the photos that RAW released to substantiate its startling claims.

Ghutarghoon Khan secretly spying on the pet ducks of the RAW chief ...

Ghutarghoon Khan seducing and then recruiting a female Indian pigeon ...

A Ghutarghoon Khan selfie taken outside a nuclear plant in Bihar.

Ghutarghoon Khan fighting a patriotic Indian squirrel. The squirrel's body was found in a fish pond nearby.

Ghutarghoon Khan polluting Indian river ...

Ghutarghoon Khan attacking an innocent Indian from the air.

PM Modi proudly exhibits a hat specially designed to ward off attacks by Pakistani pigeons from the air ...

An ISI agent paying Ghutarghoon Khan money to conduct more aerial bombings in India ...

A Chinese scientist working closely with the ISI installing a micro-camera in Ghutargoon Khan's left eye ...

Ghutarghoon Khan disguised as a Bollywood actress ...

Ghutarghoon Khan disrupting a cricket Test match in India. Specifically trying to injure the world's fastest, deadliest, bestest fast bowler, Ishant Sharma ...

Ghutarghoon Khan secretly and strategically placed during Modi-Obama meeting ...

Catastrophic devastation caused by Ghutarghoon Khan ...

Finally, Ghutarghoon Khan apprehended and put where he belongs. The Republic of India is safe. Long live RAW! Ghutarghoon Khan's final words: 'My name is Khan, and I'm not a spy!'

@Han yehi sach hai. "Ghutarghoon Khan came to pitch while match was on to buy Indian players for fixing it. Returned back to pakistan after his offer declined by Indian Players." But on earlier mission he was able to convince players like S Sreesanth, Ajay Sharma,Manoj Prabhakar,Ajay Jadeja and many other IPL saints

Another brilliant example of how humour can demolish not just demagogues, the pompous and the preposterous but show the purveyors of such ridiculousness for what they are: ridiculous. RAW, one of the most active spy agencies that has caused havoc on the sub-continent and island states and territories across the Indian Ocean since it was set up by Indira Gandhi in the 1960s, could surely have come up with a better agent provocateur than the humble kabutur in its latest instalment of state-managed theatre, because it was something begging to be mocked. Mr Paracha has simply obliged.
