Shine Tom Chacko made a dramatic escape from a hotel during a midnight anti-narcotics raid by Kerala police’s District Anti-Narcotic Special Action Force (DANSAF). The raid took place on April 16. The footage shows Shine leaping from the third floor to the second, then diving into a swimming pool before fleeing through the reception.

Despite the spectacle, no illegal substances were found in Shine’s room. However, he is currently absconding, and authorities plan to question him once he is located. The incident comes on the heels of serious allegations made by actress Vincy Aloshious.

The actress recently declared she would no longer work with co-actors involved in drug use and filed complaints with both the Association of Malayalam Movie Artists (A.M.M.A.) and the Kerala Film Chamber of Commerce.

In a social media video, she further alleged that a co-actor had misbehaved with her on set, though she didn’t name him directly. A.M.M.A. office bearers later confirmed that the actor in question is Shine, who stars alongside Vincy in the upcoming film Soothravakyam.
