Hollywood stars should be worried as the ‘Ketamine Queen’ arrested in connection to Matthew Perry’s death is facing further questioning, a former prosecutor has warned.Â
Jasveen Sangha, 41, was charged last week in an 18-count superseding indictment in relation to distributing ketamine to the Friends star in the weeks before he died aged 54 in October 2023.
Sangha – who was allegedly known throughout North Hollywood as a dealer to celebrities – was nicknamed the ‘Ketamine Queen’ because of her alleged prolific activity.Â
Former federal prosecutor Neama Rahmani said A-listers should be worried as she could name names to get a lighter sentence if found guilty.
He told the Sun: ‘She may name anyone connected to her, anyone who supplied to her or she supplied.
‘Hollywood celebrities should be quaking in their boots.Anyone who has anything to do with Jasveen Sangha should be really concerned.’

Sangha is charged with conspiracy to distribute ketamine, maintaining a drug-involved premises, possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine, possession with intent to distribute ketamine, and five counts of distribution of ketamine. She has denied nine charges and is facing trial.Â
Rahmani said that Sangha could get a life sentence if she’s found guilty.
Just hours before she was arrested by police in Los Angeles on August 15, Jasveen Sangha was boasting about her new haircut and color on her social media.
Sangha shared her lavish lifestyle, allegedly funded by her narcotics dealing, all over Instagram – where she posted snaps from her vacations to Mexico and Japan. Â
The alleged dealer to the rich and famous would often post images of her wearing Van Cleef & Arpels jewelry, Louis Vuitton sneakers and Chanel clothes – as well as snaps of her indulging in caviar at private jet lounges at LAX.Â
The 41-year-old alleged dealing ‘queen,’Â who has dual British and American citizenship, also hosted ritzy parties for her friends in Hollywood, and exclaimed that ‘family is everything.’
In February 2024, four months after Perry’s death, Sangha, whose mother is from Essex, posted smirking selfies while sunning herself on a trip to Playa del Carmen, Mexico, where she showed off her beachfront residence while drinking cocktails by the pool.Â
She also boasted about her health and wellness journey – using IV drips after late-night partying and being a proponent of ‘sound healing,’ which she called ‘absolutely uplifting and cleansing for the heart and soul.’Â
Just two weeks after Perry’s ketamine-overdose death, Sangha jetted off to Tokyo – where she indulged in lychee martinis at the Mandarin Oriental hotel, where suites cost £1,426 a night. Â

In an indictment, texts between the defendants claimed Sangha was allegedly known in the community for ‘only deal[ing] with high end and celebs’ in her drug business.
She is accused of using her North Hollywood residence, referenced in the indictment as the ‘Sangha Stash House,’ to store, package, and distribute narcotics, including ketamine and methamphetamine.Â
The indictment claimed that Sangha ‘knew that the unsupervised and improper use of ketamine can be deadly’ and in 2019, she allegedly sold the drug to another customer Cody McLaury, who died of a drug overdose.
After a family member of McLaury’s sent Sangha a text message saying that her ketamine had killed McLaury, Sangha allegedly conducted a Google search for ‘can ketamine be listed as a cause of death[?]’
She was also a key player in Matthew Perry’s drug-induced death, it has been claimed.Â
On October 11, 2023, Sangha allegedly used Signal to message defendant Eric Fleming that her ketamine was ‘high quality’ and offered a sample to Perry, stating: ‘It’s unmarked but it’s amazing – he take one and try it and I have more if he likes.’Â
According to the indictment, 25 vials of ketamine were allegedly bought from Sangha on October 24 to be given to Perry – and ‘as part of the transaction, defendant Sangha included ketamine lollipops as an ‘add on’ for his large ketamine order.’Â

Jasveen allegedly wrote ‘delete all our messages’ to co-conspirator Fleming on October 28 – the day Perry died
Sangha is just one of five others who were arrested on August 15 in connection to the actor’s tragic death, which shocked the world on October 28, 2023
When ‘Ketamine Queen’ Sangha found out that Perry had died on October 28, she allegedly called one of the alleged co-conspirators and told him to delete any digital evidence on their cell phones.Â
When her home was raided in March 2024, police allegedly found a litany of evidence relating to her drug dealing – including an ’emporium’ of narcotics and 1,978 grams of meth.
An affidavit filed in a Los Angeles federal court by freshman DEA agent Tyler Abrego on March 20 described the raid the day before on Sangha’s home.Â
‘During the search, law enforcement seized significant quantities of illegal drugs, including approximately 1,978 grams of orange pills that field tested positive for methamphetamine, 79 bottles containing a clear liquid that field tested positive for ketamine, and various other suspect narcotics,’ Agent Abrego wrote.
A handgun was seen in the photo of the seized drugs included in Abrego’s affidavit.
The complaint claimed Sangha was a ‘large volume drug dealer’ previously identified by the DEA, LAPD homicide detectives and the US Postal Inspection Service.
Agents seized her cell phone, which had ‘conversations related to selling pressed methamphetamine pills and ketamine.’
In a text conversation about selling the drug, she asked for a payment of ‘958,51’ to her PayPal, and said: ‘I think you’ll like these but remember they’re double strength’.
Videos recovered from her phone allegedly showed her ‘cooking ketamine’, the agent wrote.
Doctors Salvador Plascencia, 42, and Mark Chavez, 54, Perry’s live-in assistant Kenneth Iwamasa, 59, as well as drug dealer Erik Fleming, 54, have also been charged.
