YouTuber detained after pop left for off-limits tribe

A 24-year-old American YouTuber who was arrested after visiting an off-limits island in the Indian Ocean with hopes of establishing contact with a reclusive tribe was further detained in custody. Mykhailo Viktorovych Polyakov will next appear before a local court in Port Blair -- the capital of India?s Andaman and Nicobar Islands -- on April 29, police said. He left a can of Diet Coke and a coconut as offering for the tribe this time after he failed to contact the Sentinelese, then shot a video of the island on his camera and collected some sand samples before returning to his boat.
