Mismanagement affecting employees' welfare

Hello Sir,
I'm Manigandan from Chennai. I work in a BPO company in Chennai. We do general transcription work relating to insurance claims and also building surveys, outsourcing jobs from UK and Ireland. I have been with this company as an Editor since 2008. We do not have a HR Dept in our company. The owner of the company resides in England and will be here only once in a year. We have a GM as the head in Chennai.
I would be very grateful if you can clarify my doubts for the welfare of my company which we depend on for our living.
My first doubt is whether I can send a notice to my TL (in the best interest of my employer) for his mismanagement and other cheapest activities in office, which even when brought to the attention of our GM, is being turned deaf ears to. Our TL made his wife an editor two years back just to gain her trust and they got engaged and married but still she is doing only the transcription job not the editor jobs. A lot of time is wasted here which results in monetary loss to the company. Even if it is a penny, a penny saved is penny earned, isn't it?
For two years company's funds are being swindled in many ways. Whatever we say to our GM he replies saying he doesn't worry whatever happens because at the end of the day the work is done. He doesn't know who does what, who is who and what is what. This is not fair even at the very least, I think, in a company which is of course bound by the rules and reg of govt.
There is more to say and I have evidence of daily production and witness for all the cheapest and mischievous things the TL does in our office.
I would be grateful to have your guidance in this regard coz I couldn't bear the discrimination that has been going on here which I have not mentioned. The least I could say is that last week I thought calling Sneha Helpline coz of the mental harassment I face at work. I couldn't spend quality time with family coz the thought about my office is deep in my heart except when I'm asleep. I don't know what to do. I fear for job security if I pursue this matter but at the same time I fear for my life security if I don't pursue same.
Sir, there is a lot of mismanagement here (both leisure and pleasure in office). I couldn't state everything coz I'm in the shift and couldn't waste time. Please help me and I'll provide all the evidence. Please consider this as urgent, sir.
Please tell me whom to contact. I want to live, sir. Please help me. Thanking you in anticipation.

Please do not try to be more loyal than the King.
You have already brought to the notice of your GM whatever your views and points.
There ends your job.
You have to concentrate on your job of Editor and perform it well. That's all. Nobody will ask you about other issues.
When you say that you are worried about your job security, you have to confine yourself to your job and nothing else.
I do not understand what do you mean by saying that "I fear for my life security if I don't pursue same."
To put it mildly, you seem to be assuming too much for yourself.

Thank you so much for your response, sir. I understand you, sir, but I've not given enough facts about the problems, as I was in office doing my work and I could not give them in detail.
I will send you the A-Z of it once I'm home today, sir. Please scrutinise it closely and help me. Will abide by what you say. Thanks.

Dear Mr. Manigandan,
It is not understood, in what way you are concerned with that problem in your personal capacity, if you are not responsible for the management or control of finances of the company and also if not sure whether the management, itself, is not misusing their position?
If the higher management is sleeping over the issue of mismanagement or is involved in doing wrong, you would just become the scapegoat on account of their ire for poking your nose in their affairs. If the other employees are not seing their welfare or not interested in that what you would be going to gain out of your efforts. In that case, better, restrict your activities only up to the limit of your own duties and responsibilities to be discharged sincerely.
