Pigeon fitted with a chip lands in Gujarat to scare the wits out of the police

It appeared to be a pigeon lost at sea that had landed to quench its thirst. It was spotted sipping water from a bowl at the under-construction Essar jetty at Salaya shore in Devbumi Dwarka, Gujarat, in the afternoon of March 20.
This has been reported in timesofindia.indiatimes.com dated 28 March 2015.

It would have gone unnoticed if it had flown away when the Essar security guard tried to shoo it away. But, it did not fly away and it was then that the guard noticed a chip tied to one of its claws and a ring with the number '28733' on the other claw. Moreover, the bird had writings in Urdu/Arabic across its wings.
Obviously, all the security agencies like the Gujarat police, Coast Guard, forest department, forensic experts and even the Union home ministry were bewildered.
Forensic experts came on the scene and the chip was removed from the feet of the bird. The chip had inscription of 'Benjing Dual' – googling this it was found that 'Benzing Dual' is a sensor chip used for racing pigeons. Then came the deciphering of the Urdu/Arabic words written in blue on the pigeon's wings. It was translated as "Rasul-ul-Allah' (messenger of Allah).
We will have to wait for further developments to find out what message the pigeon has brought and from whom.
