Police Decline Case Against Tini Tom Amid Ongoing AMMA Disputes Involving Ansiba Hassan

Analysed 27 Jun 2026·2 sources analysed·Ernakulam, India·social
Police Decline Case Against Tini Tom Amid Ongoing AMMA Disputes Involving Ansiba HassanPreviousNext

The Kadavanthra police have declined to register a case against actor Tini Tom following a complaint by Ansiba Hassan alleging communal and defamatory remarks, citing insufficient evidence after a preliminary probe. Ms. Hassan has challenged this decision in court and filed a separate complaint against former AMMA president Shwetha Menon, alleging victimisation. These developments follow a contentious AMMA annual meeting marked by executive resignations and public disputes involving accusations of character attacks and communal targeting within the Malayalam film fraternity.
