At last, the authorities in the Andaman islands woke up from slumber and nabbed two persons for questioning in the shocking video case. Recently, a London based newspaper had released a video showing Jarawa women dancing semi-naked before tourists, allegedly in exchange for food.

The Andaman and Nicobar police have questioned two persons in connection with the case. The police in a statement said that Rajesh Vyas, owner of a gift shop, and Guddu, a taxi driver, were questioned after it was found that the duo allegedly help tourists visit the protected land for Jarawas and arrange video recording of these people. They used to allegedly take money from foreign tourists on the pretext that it had to be paid to the police, the sources said.

The police have been questioning several tour operators and taxi drivers of Port Blair to track down the source of video, officials said. Vehicles passing through Andaman Trunk Road are being screened by the investigating team. They have also raided several CD or souvenir shops here to recover any offensive video concerning the Jarawas. Andaman Police had registered a case on January 12 against unnamed persons in connection with the shooting and uploading of the video under the Indian Penal Code, Information and Technology Act and Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribes and Protection of Aboriginal Tribes. Under the Protection of Aboriginal Tribes (PAT) Act, taking pictures or video shooting of tribals is banned.
