dec 23, 2005 - On 27 January 2006, Indian fishermen Sunder Raj (48) and Pandit Tiwari (52), who had been attempting to illegally harvest crabs off North Sentinel Island, drifted towards the island after their boat's makeshift anchor failed during the night. They did not respond to warning calls from passing fishermen, and the boat drifted into the shallows near the island, where a group of Sentinelese warriors attacked the boat and killed the fishermen with axes.
