Pakistan ‘arrests’ monkey
for crossing India border
Authorities in Pakistan's Punjab province have “arrested” a monkey that
crossed its border with India, the Times of India reports.
Wildlife officials captured the monkey after a struggle and took him to
Bahawalpur Zoo in Punjab, where he was named Bobby.
The capture may be payback for an incident last year, in which Indian
police detained a pigeon and kept it under armed guard after it was
caught on an alleged spying mission for Pakistan. The pigeon was found
with a ring around its foot, and a Pakistani phone number and address
stamped in red ink on its body. It is unclear whether the bird was ever
released.
The monkey capture comes on the heels of several blow ups between the
neighbors and archrivals. Monday, an Indian minister said India held
Pakistan responsible for all crises in Afghanistan, and Pakistan chastised
Australia for selling uranium to India, demanding it be able to buy the
nuclear raw material, too.
Last week, a controversial FHM India magazine cover was released
featuring a nude photo of Pakistani actress Veena Malik.
