The MBA grad who became the 'Ketamine Queen': Meet Jasveen Sangha who has been charged in Matthew Perry’s death case

Jasveen Sangha, a 41-year-old MBA graduate once known for her polished social media presence and high-profile connections, now faces federal charges in connection with the overdose death of Friends star Matthew Perry. Dubbed the "Ketamine Queen" by prosecutors, Sangha stands accused of possessing and distributing large quantities of ketamine and methamphetamine from a stash house in North Hollywood.

Set to go on trial in August, Sangha has pleaded not guilty to charges that include distribution of ketamine resulting in death — a charge that could carry 10 years to life in prison if convicted. Prosecutors now planning to slap additional charges against Jasveen.

According to reports, Sangha was a “meticulous and studious” student at her Calabasas high school. After earning a degree in social sciences from UC Irvine and an MBA from Hult International Business School in London, she briefly attempted to run a nail salon in Studio City, a business that ultimately failed.


By 2015, Sangha had taken a sharp turn into the Los Angeles party scene. She rebranded herself online as a globe-trotting curator of luxury events, sharing glamorous photos from parties, dinners, and poolside gatherings with celebrities like Charlie Sheen, DJ Khaled, and Perla Hudson, ex-wife of Guns N’ Roses guitarist Slash.

According to TMZ, Sangha reportedly met both Matthew Perry and Brooke Mueller (Sheen’s ex-wife) during time spent in rehab.

Federal investigators allege that Sangha was deeply involved in drug trafficking. In a March raid on her North Hollywood apartment, authorities reportedly discovered 79 vials of ketamine, three pounds of meth-laced pills, and cocaine. Photos of her alleged stash — including liquid ketamine and powders — have been released by prosecutors.

Sangha is also under scrutiny in a separate overdose case, where she allegedly sold ketamine to Cody McLaury, who died shortly after the transaction in 2019.

Ironically, despite driving luxury vehicles like a BMW and Range Rover, prosecutors claim Sangha had no verifiable employment since at least 2019.
