"Investigators have found sufficient evidence to determine these eight people as suspects because they are strongly suspected of spreading false accusations and carrying out digital manipulation of diploma documents using an unscientific method of analysis," said Asep.
Asep said that the actions of the suspects were considered misleading to the public because they circulated information that could not be accounted for academically or legally. Therefore, he also appealed to the public to be wise in providing information, especially on social media (Medsos).
"Don't be easily provoked by incorrect information, and always check and clarify before spreading something," he concluded.
