South Actor Shine Tom Chacko Arrested in Drug Case: Malayalam actor Shine Tom Chacko, known for his dynamic roles in South Indian cinema, has been arrested under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act. The arrest came after a dramatic sequence of events where the actor fled from a hotel in Ernakulam during a late-night police drug raid.
According to reports, Kerala Police apprehended the actor after questioning him for over four hours at the Ernakulam Town North Police Station. An FIR has also been filed against him under relevant sections of the NDPS Act. Shine Tom Chacko was summoned by police earlier this morning at 10 AM for interrogation regarding the incident.
Why Did the Actor Run from the Hotel?
In his defense, Shine claimed that he panicked and fled the scene because he mistook the police personnel for attackers. He believed the individuals entering the hotel room during the raid were goons trying to harm him. Police sources have confirmed that they have obtained the actor’s call records and WhatsApp chats as part of the investigation. Additionally, CCTV footage shows him escaping from the hotel premises with a friend on a bike.
No Drugs Found in Actor’s Hotel Room
Interestingly, the police did not find any narcotic substances in Shine Tom Chacko’s hotel room. However, suspicions remain high as DANSAF (District Anti-Narcotics Special Action Force) had been monitoring the actor for a while. His sudden attempt to flee during the raid only raised further concerns.
This incident has sparked a wave of reactions on social media, especially given Shine Tom Chacko’s growing popularity in the Malayalam film industry. As the investigation unfolds, more details are expected to emerge in the coming days.
