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".

Agree fully. Thought crosses my mind though our of curiosity, I keep thinking it's a "the village" sort of situation where the elders are controlling the tribe and the young uns want to explore the outside world but aren't allowed to or are opressed into thinking some crazy demons are out there
