Adam Shem Ganja Possession Case: Actor Tiny Tom’s son, Adam Shem, was taken into custody along with two others in connection with alleged possession of ganja, according to a report by TV9 Malayalam. The incident reportedly took place on Sunday, February 22, near the Makaliyam Temple premises in Thrippunithura.
As per the TV9 Malayalam report, the Thrippunithura Hill Palace police detained the trio during a routine patrol in the temple vicinity. The officers reportedly found the group’s presence suspicious and proceeded to question them. A subsequent inspection reportedly led to the recovery of around four grams of ganja.
The other two individuals detained in the case have been identified as Karthik and Amith George. Police sources quoted in the report indicated that during questioning, the accused admitted the substance was intended for personal use. Since the quantity seized was small, the three were later released on station bail after legal formalities were completed.
The case has drawn attention in light of Adam Shem’s recent entry into cinema. He is set to play a significant role in the upcoming Malayalam film Hi Guys, which was announced recently.
Tiny Tom’s Earlier Anti-Drug Statement Gains Attention
In the wake of the case, an earlier statement made by Tiny Tom about substance abuse in the film industry has resurfaced on social media. In a television interview some time ago, the actor had spoken candidly about concerns over drug use in cinema circles. He had then said that his son had once received an opportunity in a major film, but the family chose not to pursue it after hearing about alleged substance use on sets. He had mentioned that his wife was particularly anxious about the environment and that they decided against allowing their son to step into films at that time.
Tiny Tom has, on multiple occasions, publicly addressed the issue of drug abuse and spoken about the need for vigilance within the industry. With his son now named in connection with the case, those earlier remarks have been widely shared online, prompting discussion across platforms.
