His aim was to bring gospel to the island's tribesmen. Outsiders are banned from even approaching the island to protect the people. The complete isolation of the Sentinelese means contact with the outside world could put them at risk to common illnesses. Seven people who helped Mr. Chau reach the island have been arrested. It might take more days to get his body.

It may not be intentional but it comes a week after a gunman shot and killed two people who were taking a yoga class.

He added that the sun salutation, a common sequence of positions in yoga, is meant to worship the Hindu sun god, Surya.
