Actor Shine Tom Chacko flees during hotel drug raid amid allegations by actress Vincy Aloshious

Actor Shine Tom Chacko and two associates reportedly fled a hotel room in the city during a surprise drug raid conducted by the police.

Has the actor received prior warning about the raid?
According to Manorama Online, the raid, carried out by the anti-narcotics squad DANSAF at around 11 PM, targeted a popular hotel where the actor was staying. According to the reports, Shine and his companions escaped from a third-floor room just as the inspection began. Although no illegal substances were recovered from the premises, speculation is rife that the actor may have received prior warning about the raid.
Allegations put forward by Vincy Aloshious
The incident has gained further attention in light of recent serious allegations made by actress Vincy Aloshious. Reportedly, she had earlier filed a formal complaint with the Film Chamber and the Internal Complaints Committee (ICC), accusing Shine Tom Chacko of misbehaving with her on the sets of the film Sootravakyam, allegedly under the influence of drugs. The actress revealed that the experience was deeply traumatic and played a major role in her decision to avoid working with individuals who use drugs.

In a heartfelt video message, Vincy explained, “A few days ago, I stated at an anti-drug campaign that I would never work with drug users again. After seeing the responses online, I felt I had to explain what led me to make that decision.”
AMMA voices support for Vincy Aloshious
The Film Chamber has assured strict action, with General Secretary Saji Nanthiyatt confirming an investigation. The actors' association AMMA has also voiced support for Vinzy, promising strong disciplinary steps. Prominent voices in the film industry, including actress Ranjini, have publicly applauded Vinzy’s courage in speaking out.
