PORT BLAIR, India - India ordered the arrest on Thursday of a tour operator for running a "human safari" after a video emerged showing police making half-naked women from a tiny island tribe dance in return for food.
The video, first released by Britain's Observer newspaper last week, showed women of the Jarawa tribe on the Andaman islands in the Indian Ocean dancing and singing on a jungle road. An off-camera police man tells them: "dance for me....dance now".
The authorities were trying to ascertain the identity of the person who had shot the video, but no substantial action had yet been taken, said a police official in Port Blair, the capital of the tropical archipelago.
