Malayalam actor Shine Tom Chacko has found himself in the middle of a developing controversy after being captured on CCTV footage fleeing a hotel in Kochi during a drug raid conducted by the District Anti-Narcotic Special Action Force (DANSAF). The incident unfolded shortly after actress Vincy Aloshious filed a formal complaint against him, alleging drug use and inappropriate behavior on the set of their upcoming movie, “Soothravakyam.”
According to reports, the DANSAF team conducted a surprise raid at a prominent hotel in Kochi. During this operation, CCTV footage allegedly showed Shine Tom Chacko attempting to evade the authorities by making a dramatic escape from his third-floor hotel room. The actor was seen jumping out of the window and reportedly landing in the hotel’s swimming pool before proceeding to flee the premises.
While the police have confirmed the raid and the CCTV evidence of Chacko’s escape, they have stated that no drugs were found in his hotel room. However, his act of fleeing the scene has raised suspicions, and the police intend to question him as part of their ongoing investigation. A notice is expected to be served to the actor, requiring him to appear for questioning to provide an explanation for his actions.
This incident gains further significance in light of the recent complaint filed by actress Vincy Aloshious with the Association of Malayalam Movie Artists (AMMA). In her complaint, Aloshious reportedly named Shine Tom Chacko, alleging that he used drugs on the set of their film “Soothravakyam” and behaved inappropriately towards her. The details of her complaint are still emerging, but it has undoubtedly added another layer of complexity to the situation surrounding the actor.
It’s important to note that this is not the first time Shine Tom Chacko has been embroiled in a drug-related case. Back in 2015, he was arrested along with several others for allegedly possessing cocaine. However, he was later acquitted in that case. This past history will likely add further scrutiny to the current situation.
The police are expected to continue their investigation, focusing on why Shine Tom Chacko chose to flee the hotel during the raid, even if no drugs were found in his room. His response to the police summons and any potential explanations he provides will be crucial in determining the next course of action. The allegations made by Vincy Aloshious will also likely be a part of the broader inquiry into the actor’s conduct.
The Malayalam film industry and the public are closely watching these developments, given Shine Tom Chacko’s prominent position as an actor. The outcome of the police investigation and any actions taken by AMMA in response to Vincy Aloshious’ complaint could have significant repercussions for his career and reputation. This incident serves as a stark reminder of the ongoing issues surrounding drug use within the entertainment industry and the importance of addressing allegations of misconduct seriously.
