Director B Unnikrishnan Raises Questions On Excise Department's Response To Tini Tom's Drug Abuse Revelations

FEFKA Questions Excise Dept. On Tini Tom's Drug Revelations: In a recent press conference, acclaimed director B. Unnikrishnan, also serving as the FEFKA (Film Employees Federation of Kerala) General Secretary, raised questions regarding the Excise Department's response to actor Tini Tom's shocking revelations about drug abuse within the film industry.

Unnikrishnan pointed out that Tini Tom holds the esteemed position of brand ambassador for the Excise Department, emphasising the importance of the department's involvement in taking his statement. Unnikrishnan further alleged the existence of a potential criminal conspiracy, specifically in relation to the actions taken by the excise officials during their raid on director Najeem Koya's hotel room.

"Why hasn't this agency summoned Tini Tom yet? If the officials were willing to travel all the way from Thiruvananthapuram to Erattupetta for the raid on Najeem Koya, why haven't they obtained Tini Tom's statement?" questioned Unnikrishnan. He highlighted Tini Tom's revelation that an actor's dental health had deteriorated due to drug abuse, urging the Excise Department to inquire about the identity of this individual. Unnikrishnan stressed that, as the brand ambassador of the Excise Department, Tini Tom should be the first person to provide information on this matter. He called for action to be taken and demanded accountability when statements were made.

Tini Tom's Shocking Revelations

Tini Tom made these concerning remarks during his participation in the inaugural function of the Kerala University Union Youth Festival held in Ambalappuzha last month. Expressing his own fear and concern for his only son, Tini Tom disclosed that he prevented his son from entering the film industry due to these apprehensions. He also revealed that an actor he had worked with had succumbed to drug addiction, resulting in severe dental issues. Notably, Tini Tom is also responsible for overseeing the operations of AMMA (the Association of Malayalam Movie Artists).

As the industry awaits the Excise Department's response, the allegations raised by Director B. Unnikrishnan have sparked a crucial dialogue about the pressing issue of drug abuse in the film industry. The hope is for a thorough investigation into Tini Tom's revelations and subsequent actions to address this alarming situation.
