Andaman and Nicobar police has issued a lookout notice against two French filmmakers who had allegedly trespassed into protected Jarawa tribal reserve and secretly filmed a documentary on the threatened aboriginal tribe.

North and Middle Andaman SP Santosh Kumar Meena told PTI from Port Blair that Father Saw Saytha of Baptist Church at Mayabunder has been arrested for helping French film director Alexandre Dereims and producer Claire Beilvert meet the Jarawa tribals.

Police said the matter would be taken up with the Ministry of External Affairs and the help of Interpol would be sought to trace the film-maker duo who filmed the documentary between January 28 and February 11 this year.
