Influencer Arrested by Police for Using Whip Pink to Achieve 'High' Sensation
REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, JAKARTA – The use of Whip Pink has once again become a subject of controversy after the Directorate of Narcotics Criminal Investigation (Dittipidnarkoba) of the National Police’s Criminal Investigation Unit (Bareskrim Polri) revealed that an influencer with the initials APG used Whip Pink, a brand of N2O gas, to achieve a ‘high’ sensation.
“That’s right, the suspicion is that it was used to achieve a sensation, a ‘high’ sensation,” said the Head of Sub-Directorate III of Dittipidnarkoba Bareskrim Polri, AKBP Al Rasyidin Fajri, when confirmed on Thursday (June 3, 2026) morning. ‘High’ or ‘ngefly’ is a slang term often used to describe a state of euphoria or a feeling of floating due to the influence of certain substances.
Meanwhile, on Wednesday (June 2, 2026) evening, Fajri said that by using the product, APG experienced certain effects such as feeling calm and a sense of happiness. Fajri said that this information was obtained by investigators after examining APG as a witness in the development of the Whip Pink manufacturer case.
During the examination, Fajri said, APG admitted to using Whip Pink since September 2025 and stopped in January 2026. “APG also admitted to having purchased Whip Pink 15 times and admitted to experiencing euphoric effects (‘high’) when using the product,” he said.
He also said that the examination of consumers as witnesses was to investigate the effects of using Whip Pink on a person.
Previously, Dittipidnarkoba Bareskrim Polri summoned five people as witnesses in the development of the Whip Pink gas manufacturer case, namely: RV (29, North Jakarta), AM (29, Tangerang), CD (29, Jakarta), APG (21, Makassar) and ZNM (20, Makassar). In April 2026, Dittipidnarkoba Bareskrim Polri successfully uncovered the existence of a factory that produces Whip Pink brand N2O gas in Jakarta.
From the interrogation, nine witnesses who were arrested, PT SSS as the manufacturer, did not have the legality and distribution permit from BPOM (the Indonesian Food and Drug Authority) regarding the production and sale of Whip Pink gas products.
In addition, the owners of the production location and Whip Pink distribution warehouse are AH, SC, and JH. The Whip Pink warehouse is located in 10 cities with a total of 16 warehouse locations ranging from Jakarta, DI Yogyakarta to Lombok.
Whip Pink is a brand of small gas cylinders containing nitrous oxide or dinitrogen oxide (N2O), also known as “laughing gas.”
