Police in India have released a dove that was banned for eight months under suspicion of spying on China.
Police suspected that the dove, which was captured near the port in Mumbai in May last year, was involved in spying because there were two hand-to-mouth rings in Chinese, SkyNews reported.
Police released the dove Tuesday and released him back into the wild, the Indian media reported. The dove spent eight months in captivity in an animal hospital in Mumbai before it was discovered that the bird had flown to India from Taiwan.
Doves have been used for spying throughout history, and British forces in World War I and World War II used these birds to convey messages. Police in India have previously arrested pigeons.
In 2016, Indian police banned another dove after allegedly being found a note that threatened Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
