Malayalam actor Shine Tom Chacko has received significant relief in the ongoing narcotics and drug case against him. For the unversed, the actor was one of eight people accused in a case registered in 2015 related to drug possession in Kerala. They were caught with a large quantity of drugs during a search operation conducted in a flat in the Kadavanthra area.
Now, as per reports by Manorama News, the Ernakulam Additional Sessions Court has acquitted Shine Tom Chacko and the seven other accused due to insufficient evidence.
The police failed to provide scientific proof that the accused had consumed drugs in the first place. In fact, the samples sent by the investigative team to labs in Delhi and Hyderabad could not detect the presence of drugs.
