A ''spy'' pigeon sent from Pakistan has been captured in India.

The bird was caught in the village of Manyari - which is on the border separating Indian and Pakistani-controlled parts of Kashmir - and the animal was said to be carrying a ''coded message''.
According to local reports, security officials are still trying to decipher the message.
Kathua Police superintendent Shailendra Mishra revealed that villagers gave the pigeon to police after it flew into a woman's house.
He explained: ''A ring was seen attached to one of its legs with some numbers on it and a probe is on.
''We can't say it was used for spying. Locals, seeing a tag tied with its legs, caught the pigeon.
''Some called it a coded message. In Pakistan's Punjab, people tie number tags on pigeons to claim ownership.''
