Kerala actor Shine Tom Chacko on the run after dramatic hotel escape in Kochi: Is he in Tamil Nadu?

Dubai: Malayalam actor Shine Tom Chacko is currently absconding after a dramatic escape from a police drug raid at a Kochi hotel on April 16. 

According to reports, the District Anti-Narcotics Special Action Force (DANSAF) arrived for a surprise inspection late Tuesday night, prompting Chacko to flee through a third-floor window. CCTV footage shows him descending to a lower floor, running through a corridor, and leaping into a swimming pool before disappearing from the scene with two others.

The raid followed a formal complaint by actress Vincy Aloshious, who accused Chacko of misbehaving with her and allegedly consuming drugs on the sets of their film Soothravakyam. The complaint has been submitted to both the Kerala Film Chamber of Commerce and the Association of Malayalam Movie Artists (AMMA).

While no drugs were recovered from Chacko’s hotel room, authorities suspect he may have been tipped off about the impending raid. AMMA is reportedly considering disciplinary action, including possible expulsion.

Though unconfirmed, speculation is rife that Chacko may have fled to Tamil Nadu to evade arrest.
