‘Ketamine Queen’ Jasveen Sangha Continued Drug Operation Den Months After Matthew Perry’s Death, Prosecutors Allege

Jasveen Sangha, a.k.a. the “Ketamine Queen” continued her drug den operation months after Matthew Perry’s October 2023 death and later attempted to cover up her crimes, new court documents obtained by Us Weekly reveal.

In the documents, prosecutors accused Sangha of being “engaged in a half-decade long drug business.” In March, law enforcement seized “multiple pounds of methamphetamine pills, 79 vials of ketamine, fraudulently obtained pharmaceutical pills and other illegal drugs” at the “Sangha Stash House” in North Hollywood, California.

That same month, Sangha was released on a $100,000 bond after an initial charge of possession with the intent to distribute methamphetamine.

In addition to Perry's death, Sangha is also linked to a second fatal drug overdose. Sangha also allegedly distributed ketamine to an individual named Cody McLaury in August 2019, who died of an overdose within a day. The indictment stated that there are “likely more victims” due to the amount of drugs Sangha allegedly sold. Friends star Perry died at age 54 from the "acute effects of ketamine," as Us previously confirmed.

The filing accused Sangha of attempting to destroy evidence after news broke worldwide of Perry's death. Sangha allegedly messaged Erik Fleming, who was the broker between Perry and Sangha, via the messaging app Signal to "delete all" their messages. The docs state that Fleming allegedly asked if "K" stays in "your system or is it flushed out," following Perry's death.

In March 2023 investigators searched the “Sangha Stash House” and found three pounds of counterfeit pills containing methamphetamine, 79 vials of ketamine, ketamine powder, 2,127 grams of Xanax pills, psilocybin mushrooms, and cocaine. Sangha also possessed drug trafficking tools including a money counter, a scale covered in drug residue, a signal and hidden camera detector, and other drug paraphernalia, a drug ledger and a firearm registered to Sangha’s boyfriend, per the filing.

The filing also notes that Sangha saved videos of herself in which she's seen "cooking" liquid ketamine on a stove top to convert it to powder form.
