Police reveal influencer used Whip Pink to seek 'high' sensation

Jakarta (ANTARA) - The Narcotics Directorate (Dittipidnarkoba) of the National Police’s Criminal Investigation Unit (Bareskrim) revealed that an influencer, identified as APG, used Whip Pink brand N2O gas to seek a ‘high’ sensation.

“That’s correct, the suspicion is that it was to seek a sensation. A ‘high’ sensation,” said the Head of Sub-Directorate III of the Narcotics Directorate of the National Police’s Criminal Investigation Unit, AKBP Al Rasyidin Fajri, when confirmed in Jakarta on Thursday morning.

‘High’ or ‘Ngefly’ is a slang term often used to describe a state of euphoria or a feeling of lightness caused by certain substances.

Meanwhile, on Wednesday (June 3) 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 a euphoric (high) effect when using the product,” he said.

He also said that the examination of consumers as witnesses was to investigate the effects of Whip Pink use on a person.

Previously, the Narcotics Directorate of the National Police’s Criminal Investigation Unit summoned five people as witnesses in the development of the Whip Pink brand N2O gas manufacturer case, namely: RV (29, North Jakarta), AM (29, Tangerang), CD (29, Jakarta), APG (21, Makassar) and ZNM (20, Makassar).

In April 2026, the Narcotics Directorate of the National Police’s Criminal Investigation Unit successfully uncovered the existence of a factory that produced Whip Pink brand N2O gas in Jakarta.

From the interrogation, nine witnesses who were arrested, PT SSS as the manufacturer, did not yet have legality and distribution permits from the BPOM (National Agency of Drug and Food Control) regarding the production and sale of Whip Pink N2O 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.”
