Kombes Zulkarnain Harahap, Head of Subdirectorate III at Dittipidnarkoba Bareskrim Polri, confirmed that investigators are also set to enforce the appearance of two other individuals, APG and RV, who similarly ignored summonses for witness examinations without providing any valid explanations. “For RV, APG, and ZNM, who consistently fail to comply with the summons, investigators will issue a Witness Custody Order,” he stated in Jakarta on Friday, May 29, 2026. This order grants authorities the power to compel their attendance for interrogation as part of the deepening N2O gas case.

In contrast to those who have evaded their summonses, two other witnesses, CD and AM, have demonstrated compliance with the police’s request. CD diligently attended the examination on Friday, May 22, while AM was present for questioning this Friday, providing crucial insights to the investigation team.

Previously, Dittipidnarkoba Bareskrim Polri had issued summonses to five individuals in total as part of the expanded inquiry into the producers of Whip Pink N2O gas. These individuals include RV (29, North Jakarta), AM (29, Tangerang), CD (29, Jakarta), APG (21, Makassar), and ZNM (20, Makassar). The core objective of these comprehensive examinations is to gather pertinent information regarding the alleged use of Whip Pink by these five individuals, shedding light on their potential involvement with the illicit substance.

This widespread investigation was initially triggered in April 2026 when Dittipidnarkoba Bareskrim Polri successfully dismantled a factory in Jakarta that was illegally producing Whip Pink N2O gas. Interrogations of nine arrested witnesses subsequently revealed that PT SSS, identified as the alleged producer, lacked the necessary legal permits and BPOM distribution licenses for both the production and sale of its Whip Pink N2O gas products. Further inquiries led to the identification of AH, SC, and JH as the owners of the primary production facility and the extensive network of Whip Pink delivery warehouses. This sophisticated distribution network spanned an impressive 16 locations across 10 cities, ranging from Jakarta and DI Yogyakarta all the way to Lombok, highlighting the significant scale of the illicit operation.

Whip Pink is a brand referring to small gas cylinders containing nitrous oxide (N2O), commonly known as “laughing gas.” While nitrous oxide has legitimate industrial and medical applications, it can also be abused for recreational purposes, leading to its regulation and the current police crackdown on its illegal production and distribution.

Summary

Investigators from the National Police Criminal Investigation Department’s Directorate of Narcotics Crime (Bareskrim Polri) will forcibly apprehend social media influencer ZNM for repeatedly failing to appear for questioning. This action is part of an ongoing investigation concerning the illegal production and alleged use of “Whip Pink” brand N2O gas. Two other individuals, APG and RV, will also face similar enforcement for ignoring their summonses.

The wider investigation began in April 2026 with the dismantling of an illegal Whip Pink N2O gas factory in Jakarta. The alleged producer, PT SSS, lacked necessary legal permits, and owners AH, SC, and JH operated an extensive distribution network across 16 locations in 10 cities. Whip Pink refers to cylinders containing nitrous oxide (N2O), commonly known as “laughing gas,” which is regulated due to its potential for recreational abuse.
