Whip-Pink Producer in Central Jakarta Changes Strategy After Lula Lahfah's Death
Bareskrim Polri has revealed the confession of AS, a supervisor and packing officer for nitrous oxide (N2O) gas, commonly known as laughing gas, under the Whip-Pink brand in Kemayoran, Central Jakarta. AS admitted to being instructed to change strategies following the death of the influencer.
Director of Narcotics Crime (Dirtipidnarkoba) at Bareskrim Polri, Brigadier General Eko Hadi Santoso, stated that AS had been working for the Whip-Pink producer since March 2025. He was recruited by an individual with the initials SA.
“AS’s duties involve supervising and assisting in the production of empty Whip-Pink cylinders until they are filled with five variants of weights, as well as performing quality control tasks,” said Brigadier General Eko in his statement on Wednesday (15/4/2026).
AS also admitted to being instructed to exercise greater caution after the influencer’s death. They were asked to change strategies, including affixing warning labels.
“After the incident of influencer Lula Lahfah’s death, Mr. SA instructed AS to be more careful, ensure the production location is always closed, and make sure warning stickers/labels are attached to the Whip-Pink cylinders to be sold,” he explained.
All production activities were then reported by him to SA. AS admitted to being paid Rp 1.8 million plus Rp 50,000 daily for meals.
“The owner of this business is Mr. JH; we are still conducting further investigations,” he said.
