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 left them a coke can? That feels like peak 1980s jingoism.

Everyone knows that it's a bottle of coke you need to leave anyways. I saw it in an 80s documentary.
