The pigeon at jetty was found with a chip with ‘Benjing Dual’ word written on one leg and a number ‘28733’ written in a ring in the other leg.
On wings, ‘Rasul-Ul-Allah’ was found written in Arabic language
Further investigation was carried out by the coast guard but nothing was found related to that info.
The chip and the ring were sent to the Forensic Science Laboratory in Gandhinagar for examination.
Finally it was declared that the breed of pigeon that is found is used for racing in the countries of Gulf.
‘Benjing Dual’ is one of the races there. It might have missed out of a ship somewhere in the deep sea and in search of drinking water might have reached the shore of Salaya Essar jetty.
Nothing serious but the security team of Gujarat is alert.
