Jasveen Sangha—nicknamed the “Ketamine Queen”—has quietly agreed to plead guilty to federal charges tied to the tragic overdose of beloved Friends actor Matthew Perry back in October 2023.
No trial drama, no drawn-out court battles—just a plea deal that’s going to wrap things up sooner rather than later.
The charges she’s taken on are serious: maintaining a place used for drug activity, distributing ketamine, and distributing ketamine that resulted in death or serious bodily harm.
On top of that, she admitted to involvement in another overdose fatality in 2019. So yep, things have gotten pretty grim.
Now, she faces a potential sentence stretching into decades behind bars. It’s all unfolding fast and full-on, and soon the judge will have to set a sentencing date.
Matthew Perry: A Reminder of a Bright Star Lost
On October 28, 2023, Perry, beloved for his role as Chandler Bing on Friends, tragically died after suffering from a ketamine overdose, drowning in his hot tub. The medical examiner ruled it a result of the acute effects of ketamine.
He was only 54—a sharp loss to fans everywhere. Sangha and co-defendants like doctors Plasencia and Chavez, as well as Perry’s assistant Kenneth Iwamasa and middleman Erik Fleming, have all pleaded guilty.
Who Is Jasveen Sangha “Ketamine Queen,” Anyway?
So who is Jasveen Sangha? A woman with dual U.S. and U.K. citizenship, living in North Hollywood.
She built an operation from her home—a veritable drug emporium—selling ketamine (along with other substances) to high-end clientele.
Somewhere along the way she got the nickname “Ketamine Queen,” and trust me, it wasn’t a compliment.
Prosecutors say Sangha, alongside a guy named Erik Fleming, sold 51 vials of ketamine to Matthew Perry through his personal assistant, Kenneth Iwamasa.
Perry then received those doses—and that led to the overdose that shockingly ended his life back in October 2023.
Sangha's stash house reportedly contained serious inventory: methamphetamine, cocaine, pressed pills, fake Xanax, scales, drug packaging materials, a money-counting machine—you name it.
And get this—even after Perry died, she allegedly asked Fleming to "delete all our messages" via encrypted chat. Makes you go, uh-oh, they knew what was up.
And she wasn’t only tied to Perry. Turns out she also admitted to selling ketamine to someone back in 2019 who subsequently overdosed and died hours later.
Ethnicity, Nationality, and Net Worth: What We Know (or Don't)
Ethnicity & Nationality
Jasveen Sangha is of Indian origin, reportedly linked to the Jat community—common among Sikh heritage, from what some outlets suggest. But let me be clear: officially, she’s known primarily as a dual citizen of the U.S. and the U.K.
That's been confirmed by authorities, and she’s been living and operating in California for a good while.
No official documents clarify her parents' identity or where exactly her family roots trace—so that bit remains shrouded.
Net Worth
Net worth? That's a mystery. Sure, she allegedly ran what was described as a lucrative operation—high-end party drugs, glamorous lifestyle, jet-set image, you name it—but there’s no public ledger stating her actual wealth.
Whatever she made was almost certainly tied up (literally and figuratively) in her illicit dealings—not something calculated and sitting in a bank balance.
Parents & Personal Life
You won’t find a lot of info on her family—her parents, upbringing, personal relationships—they’re all pretty much off the radar.
Media reports mention little more than she went to UC Irvine and had business-minded parents, but nothing official.
And no verified info on whether she’s married or has kids—everything on that front is hearsay or speculation.
Final Thoughts—A Tale Tangled With Loss and Law
You know, it’s a real shame how things turned out. Matthew Perry, a guy many loved as Chandler Bing, battled addiction for years, finally seeking relief.
And in his most vulnerable state, he ended up taking the wrong route—led there by people who, allegedly, cared more about profit than a life.
Sangha’s plea might wrap up one act of this tragic play, but the story’s emotional fallout continues.
Perry’s death sparked conversations about addiction treatment, celebrity healthcare, and the ethical boundaries—or lack thereof—surrounding alternative drug use.
