Hollywood stars should be worried as the “Ketamine Queen” arrested in connection with Matthew Perry’s death faces further questioning, a former prosecutor has warned.
Jasveen Sangha, 41, was charged last week in an 18-count superseding indictment in connection with distributing ketamine to the Friends star in the weeks leading up to her death at age 54 in October 2023.
Sangha, who was reportedly known throughout North Hollywood as a celebrity trafficker, was dubbed the “Ketamine Queen” because of her allegedly prolific activity.
Former federal prosecutor Neama Rahmani said celebrities should be concerned that they could name names to get a lighter sentence if convicted.
He told the Sun: ‘She can name anyone connected to her, anyone who has supplied her or who she has supplied to her.
‘Hollywood celebrities should be shaking in their boots. Anyone who has anything to do with Jasveen Sangha should be really worried.’

Matthew Perry died at the age of 54 in October last year due to a ketamine overdose.
In his latest Instagram post, Matthew Perry shared an image of himself at home in the hot tub where he would soon be found dead.

Sangha is charged with conspiracy to distribute ketamine, maintaining a drug-related facility, 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 faces trial.
Rahmani said Sangha could face life in prison if convicted.
Just hours before she was arrested by police in Los Angeles on August 15, Jasveen Sangha was flaunting her new haircut and color on social media.
Sangha shared his lavish lifestyle, allegedly funded by his drug dealing, on Instagram, where he posted snaps from his vacations in Mexico and Japan.
The alleged trafficker of the rich and famous often posted images of her wearing Van Cleef & Arpels jewelry, Louis Vuitton sneakers and Chanel clothes, as well as snaps of her enjoying caviar in the lounges of private jets at LAX.
The alleged “queen” of drug trafficking, 41 years old and with dual British and American citizenship, also organized lavish 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 smiling selfies while sunbathing on a trip to Playa del Carmen, Mexico, where she showed off her beachfront residence while sipping cocktails by the pool.
She also boasted about her track record in health and wellness: She uses an IV drip after late-night parties and is an advocate of “sound healing,” which she calls “absolutely uplifting and cleansing for the heart and soul.”
Just two weeks after Perry’s death from a ketamine overdose, Sangha travelled to Tokyo, where she treated herself to lychee martinis at the Mandarin Oriental hotel, where suites cost £1,426 a night.
In one indictment, texts between the defendants claimed Sangha (pictured) was known in the community for “dealing only with high-level people and celebrities” in her drug business.
Investigators said they discovered a “drug emporium” in his home during a raid in March 2024.

Sangha is just one of five other people who were arrested on August 15 in connection with the actor’s tragic death, which shocked the world on October 28, 2023.
In an indictment, texts between the defendants claimed Sangha was allegedly known in the community for “dealing only with high-level individuals and celebrities” in her drug business.
She is accused of using her North Hollywood residence, referred to in the indictment as the “Sangha Stash House,” to store, package and distribute narcotics, including ketamine and methamphetamine.
The indictment claimed Sangha “knew that unsupervised and improper use of ketamine can be deadly” and in 2019, he allegedly sold the drug to another customer, Cody McLaury, who died of a drug overdose.
After a relative of McLaury’s texted Sangha saying that his ketamine had killed McLaury, Sangha allegedly performed a Google search for “can ketamine be listed as a cause of death (?)”
It has also been claimed that she was a key player in the drug-related death of Matthew Perry.
On October 11, 2023, Sangha allegedly used Signal to message defendant Eric Fleming that his ketamine was “high quality” and offered a sample to Perry, saying, “It’s unmarked but it’s amazing, take one and try it and I have more if you want.”
According to the indictment, 25 vials of ketamine were allegedly purchased from Sangha on Oct. 24 for delivery to Perry and “as part of the transaction, defendant Sangha included ketamine lollipops as an ‘add-on’ to his large order of ketamine.”
Just hours before she was arrested by police in Los Angeles on August 15, Jasveen Sangha was flaunting her new haircut and color on social media.
Jasveen allegedly wrote “delete all our messages” to co-conspirator Fleming on Oct. 28, the day Perry died.
Sangha is just one of five other people who were arrested on August 15 in connection with the actor’s tragic death, which shocked the world on October 28, 2023.
When ‘Ketamine Queen’ Sangha discovered Perry had died on Oct. 28, she allegedly called one of the alleged conspirators and told him to delete any digital evidence on his cell phones.
When they raided his home in March 2024, police allegedly found a litany of evidence related to his drug dealing, including a narcotics “emporium” and 1,978 grams of methamphetamine.
An affidavit filed in Los Angeles federal court by rookie DEA agent Tyler Abrego on March 20 described the raid the day before at Sangha’s home.
“During the search, police 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 several other suspected narcotics,” Agent Abrego wrote.
A handgun was seen in the photograph of the confiscated drugs included in Abrego’s affidavit.
The complaint alleged that Sangha was a “large-scale drug trafficker” previously identified by the DEA, LAPD homicide detectives and the U.S. Postal Inspection Service.
Officers seized his cell phone, which contained “conversations related to the sale of pressed methamphetamine pills and ketamine.”
In a text conversation about selling the drug, he requested a payment of ‘958.51’ to his PayPal and said: ‘I think you’ll like them, but remember they are double strength.’
Videos recovered from her phone allegedly showed her “cooking ketamine,” the agent wrote.
Also charged were doctors Salvador Plascencia, 42, and Mark Chavez, 54, Perry’s assistant Kenneth Iwamasa, 59, and drug dealer Erik Fleming, 54.
