Bird found on India-Pakistan border with antennae and camera raises suspicion.
Members of the Border Security Force (BSF) inspect the site where a dead falcon fitted with a small camera was found near the border with neighbouring Pakistan in western Rajasthan state on April 13, 2013.
A falcon outfitted with an antennae and small camera caused alarm after Indian security forces found the bird dead on the Pakistani border. Though officials said the equipment was not highly sophisticated, a border officer told AFP that "the possibility of it being an espionage attempt from Pakistan cannot be ruled out at this stage".
On Twitter, the avian threat was dismissed with scepticism.
