Jasveen Sangha, also known as "the Ketamine Queen," is one of the five individuals accused in relation to actor Matthew Perry's drug overdose death last year. The fatal dose of ketamine that killed Mr. Perry was supplied by Ms. Sangha, according to the investigators.

Due to her role in the distribution of dangerous drugs, Ms. Sangha, a 41-year-old dual citizen of the United States and Great Britain, has come under the attention of federal authorities. Ms. Sangha, known as the "Ketamine Queen of Los Angeles," is accused of operating a drug business out of her North Hollywood residence, where she is said to have packaged, distributed, and kept a variety of narcotics. Her home was described as a "drug-selling emporium" containing cocaine, methamphetamine, and prescription medications including Xanax, according to a federal indictment.

The activity of Ms. Sangha, which began at least in June 2019, came under investigation when she was detained in March for dealing in methamphetamine in another instance. The extent of her illegal activity was demonstrated by the 79 bottles of liquid ketamine and roughly 2,000 meth pills that federal officials found during their raid on her home.

On October 28, of last year, Mr. Perry passed away. A ketamine overdose is thought to have caused the 'Friends' actor's death, who had long struggled with addiction when he was discovered at his house. Investigators have determined that Mr. Perry acquired the lethal quantity of ketamine from Ms. Sangha through Eric Fleming, a broker.

Court records indicate that in the weeks before Mr. Perry's demise, Ms. Sangha gave Mr. Fleming 50 vials of ketamine in two different deals. On October 14 and 24, Mr. Fleming allegedly supplied two large quantities of the substance to Mr. Perry's home after he had tried it for the first time on October 13, according to the indictment. Given Mr. Perry's order quantity, Ms. Sangha even put in some "ketamine lollipops" as a gift.
