Such actions constitute a serious criminal offence,\u201d the statement read.<\/p>\n<p>It further disclosed that enforcement actions are already underway, revealing that some individuals have been apprehended.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCurrently, two candidates and one parent are in custody for engaging in result falsification using AI and other electronic means.
