"The pigeon was set free yesterday (May 28) after nothing suspicious was found," said Shailendra Mishra, a senior police official in Indian-administered Kashmir. It was unclear where the bird was released and whether it flew back to its owner. The Pakistani owner of the pigeon had urged India to return his bird, which Indian villagers turned over to police after discovering it. "It's just an innocent bird," Habibullah, the owner of the bird, who goes by just one name, told Reuters on Friday. In 2016, a pigeon was taken into Indian custody after it was found with a note threatening Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
