Kochi: The police officials are set to question actor Shine Tom Chacko after he fled a private hotel during a raid conducted on Thursday. According to the latest reports, the Kochi Police have decided to serve him a notice to appear for questioning.

Meanwhile, police suspect that Shine fled the hotel premises on a bike. The CCTV footage from the hotel shows the actor running out of the compound and getting onto a bike before escaping. However, it remains unclear whose bike the actor used. They are also looking into whether he requested a lift from someone.

Following this, Shine had reportedly checked into a five-star hotel in Kochi and left around 3:30 a.m., allegedly heading towards the Thrissur area. While he is a native of Thrissur, it is still unclear whether he went to his family residence. There is suspicion that he might have communicated with his parents, as hinted at by a previous statement made by his mother to the media.

Close to midnight, Chacko escaped through the window, jumped onto the second floor and then took the staircase and fled, leaving the policemen gasping. Since then, the police and the excise officials have started a manhunt for the actor, but so far he has managed to remain elusive. Trouble started for Chacko, who, time and again, is in the news for the wrong reasons. 

Early this week, Malayalam actress Vincy Aloshious, who had previously spoken about being mistreated by a co-actor on a film set, just the other day identified the individual as Shine Tom Chacko. She initially, without naming the actor, said an actor behaved badly with her and was seen spitting with some white powder coming out. 

Speaking to the media, she said on Thursday that she had made a complaint to the film authorities, but never named the actor. The incident reportedly took place during the shooting of the film 'Soothravakyam'.
