As per a report in OnManorama, Chacko told the police that he jumped out of the window of the hotel room, fearing goons sent by his rivals were knocking on the door. However, the police has not found his explanation satisfactory. "If he faced such threats, he could have approached the police. We will examine why he didn’t do that,” the police told the media.

Malayalam actress Vincy Aloshious had filed a complaint against Chacko, accusing him of inappropriate behaviour and substance abuse on set. In an Instagram video, Vincy shared her experience and said that she would no longer work with individuals who misuse substances such as alcohol or drugs. This led the police to Chacko, who was at a hotel and alleged attempted to flee during a raid.
