In short:

Indian police have arrested an American man who visited a restricted island and left offerings to a tribe not contacted by the modern world.

Mykhailo Polyakov had previously made two unsuccessful attempts to reach North Sentinel Island, home of the Sentinelese people.

What’s next?

Local authorities say he has been released on a three-day remand “for further interrogation”.

    He’s lucky to still have an anus

    The Sentinelese last made international headlines in 2018 after they killed a 27-year-old American missionary

    The body was not recovered and there were no investigations over his death because of the Indian law prohibiting anyone from going to the island.

      Perhaps he misunderstood when he overheard someone say “they eat arseholes”.
