Shine Tom Chacko's Father Reacts

When the police served notices to the actor's house in Thrissur, his father, CP Chacko, responded. He was quoted saying, "If the government sends a notice, we cannot help but respond. The notice is about him running away from a private hotel. Shine is not at home. They first said at a certain time. We said that it is not convenient. He should be able to reach there, right?

There will be no lawyers. Some of his friends will be with him. Legal advice has not been sought. There has been no case. We will think about it when a case gets filed. We have 10 years of experience in handling cases. We know when a case will happen. It is not the time to talk to a lawyer. This is just some toy snakes. We can contact a lawyer when a case arises. There will be a case only if you have committed a crime."
