It has come to light that an American ‘danger tourist’ who endangered the extinction of a whole uncontacted tribe might spend up to five years behind bars for entering a prohibited island.
And leaving ‘offerings’ for its residents. In an attempt to interact with the Sentinelese tribe, 24-year-old Mykhailo Viktorovych Polyakov entered the restricted area of North Sentinel,
Which is a part of India’s Andaman Islands, illegally on Saturday morning while carrying a coconut and a can of Diet Coke. About two days after going ashore,
Polyakov of Arizona was taken into custody late Monday. He was brought before the local court and is now being held for three days on remand to be questioned further.
The would-be travel influencer’s GoPro camera was confiscated by police, and it captured the moment he arrived at the heavily guarded island.
