Actor Shine Tom Chacko, who was recently acquitted in a 2015 drug case involving him and six others, was seen fleeing from a hotel in North Ernakulam during a police raid linked to suspected drug use. The incident, captured on CCTV, occurred on Wednesday.
Shine, who was staying on the third floor of the hotel, reportedly escaped through a window after spotting the police. CCTV footage shows him and two companions jumping from the third floor to the second, then into the swimming pool before making their way down the stairs. Although a thorough search of the room did not lead to the recovery of any narcotic substances, police suspect that he may have been tipped off. The actor is currently absconding.
Incidentally, the raid comes close on the heels of a complaint filed by actor Vincy Aloshious against Shine Tom Chacko with the Kerala Film Chamber of Commerce and the Association of Malayalam Movie Artists. The complaint followed Vincy’s social media post, where she spoke about facing inappropriate behavior from a co-star who was allegedly using drugs. Although she didn’t name the actor in her post, she was encouraged to file a formal complaint. Vincy eventually revealed the co-star in question was Shine Tom Chacko, who, she claimed, used drugs during the shoot of their upcoming film Soothravakyam.
With the Film Chamber is planning to hold a meeting on Monday to review the incident, the Kochi Excise Department are looking into the claims made by Vincy Aloshious.
