KOCHI: Actor Shine Tom Chacko has appeared for questioning. He reached Ernakulam North police station half an hour before the time specified by police. The actor did not respond to the media.

The police will ask Shine 32 questions, including why he ran away from the hotel in Kochi during the DANSAF inspection. The police have collected Shine Tom Chacko's phone details for the past month.

Yesterday, the police had come to Shine's house and served a notice asking him to appear for questioning. Police came to Shine's house in Thrissur and served the notice after calling him on the phone but not getting through. Since the actor was not at home at the time, his father CP Chacko received the notice.

'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 ten 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," - the actor's father responded yesterday.
