In Kerala, Malayalam actor Shine Tom Chacko was arrested by the Kochi City Police today in connection with a drug-related case. He was summoned to the Ernakulam North Police Station this morning, where he was questioned by law enforcement officers for more than three hours before his arrest was recorded. He has been charged under relevant sections of the NDPS Act and BNS.

He was later taken to the Ernakulam General Hospital for a medical examination, after which he was released on bail. Police also registered an FIR against another person in connection with the case.

Three days ago, the actor jumped off the third floor of a hotel building in the city into a swimming pool and escaped when police arrived in search of some drug peddlers. Police issued a summons at his residence in Thrissur, following which he reported to the Ernakulam North Police Station this morning.
