During the educational tour, the headmistress of the school, Pushpalatha, conducted a photoshoot with a class 10 student from the same school. However, the photos from the shoot have sparked outrage and debate on social media.
In the controversial photos, the student and the teacher are depicted in what appears to be an intimate pose, with the student holding the teacher, Pushpalatha. The photos quickly went viral on social media, causing a stir among netizens.
