Overview

  • Shine Tom Chacko was arrested by Kochi police on April 19, 2025, under Sections 27 and 29 of the NDPS Act for alleged drug consumption and conspiracy.
  • The arrest follows his interrogation regarding his escape from a hotel in Kochi during a DANSAF narcotics raid on April 16, 2025.

  • Chacko was recently acquitted in a 2015 drug case due to procedural lapses, adding scrutiny to this new legal development.
