Amazing Background Of ‘Holy Kissing’ Father Surfaces, Netizens Shocked

His actions did not only resurrect the age-long conversations of teachers and religious leaders sexually exploiting students but also brought to the fore the discussion about the non-adherence to COVID-19 protocols amid the third wave.
