Malayalam actor Shine Tom Chacko on Saturday was arrested by Kochi Police in a drug case, and in the evening, he was released on bail. The Good Bad Ugly actor made it to the headlines a couple of days ago after he was seen fleeing from a hotel in Kochi during a raid. He appeared at the Ernakulam North Police Station with his lawyers. Police had issued a notice to the Daaku Maharaaj actor in which he was asked to explain the reason behind his attempt to flee from the hotel.
Chacko had also made it to the headlines for one more wrong reason. Actress Vincy Aloshious, in one of her social media videos, had revealed that a co-star had misbehaved with her on the sets of her movie under the influence of drugs. While earlier she had not revealed the actor’s name, on Thursday, the actress filed a complaint with the Kerala Film Chamber against Shine Tom Chacko. She accused him of inappropriate behaviour on the sets of the upcoming film Soothravakyam.
According to a report in Kaumudi online, Chacko in his statement told police, "I did not know that it was the police who had come to the hotel looking for me. I came to know that it was the DANSAF team only the next morning. I had no intention of fooling the police. I ran away because I was afraid that someone had come to attack me. I do not use drugs. I have no connection with drug dealers.”
Shine Tom Chacko Drug Controversy
This is not the first time, when the actor has made it to the headline because of a drug case. In 2015 also, he was arrested in Kochi for allegedly possessing narcotics. A case was registered against him, and later he was granted bail by the Kerala High Court. The Dasara actor was acquitted by the court from all the charges in February this year.
