He was arrested while carrying 1.7 kilograms of narcotics in a pink box on Monday (8/25/2025) upon arrival at Soekarno-Hatta International Airport.

The suspect admitted that someone asked him to deliver happy water to the suspect Wei Sihao (28), a Chinese citizen who lives in an apartment in Pademangan District, North Jakarta.

"From the statement of Muhammad Ridzuan Cheng, he was ordered by someone with the initials B to deliver the illegal goods to the apartment," he explained.

On the other hand, Head of Sub-Directorate I of the Narcotics Directorate, Senior Superintendent Erlin Tan Jaya, said that his team continued the investigation by monitoring delivery of the illegal goods.

"The joint team that had monitored the apartment saw a suspicious man standing next to the tower and then the team managed to secure the recipient of the Happy Water, namely a Chinese citizen with the initials WZ (28)," said Erlin.
