Jasveen Sangha, known as the “Ketamine Queen of Los Angeles,” boasted a lavish lifestyle before she was arrested for her role in the death of “Friends” star Matthew Perry.
Sangha promoted himself as a “celebrity drug dealer” dealing in “high-quality products” and frequently shared photos of his lavish lifestyle on social media, the report said. New York PostShe was reported to have taken numerous lavish trips, including to Mexico, Spain, Italy, Greece, Japan, France, Dubai and Antigua. According to the New York Post, prosecutors charged that she lived a lavish lifestyle with complete indifference to the fact that “ketamine” killed people. Her Instagram page is filled with luxury items with an emphasis on appearance, and several people who know her have come forward to share intimate details about her lifestyle.
According to the New York Post, prosecutors allege her lavish lifestyle included renting a home in North Hollywood for “thousands of dollars a month” and driving a Range Rover that she recently traded in for a 2024 BMW.
“Given the defendant's lifestyle and expenses, she has the financial means to flee,” prosecutors argued in a motion to keep Sangha in custody.
Sangha's friends say she was “obsessed” with her appearance and regularly underwent Botox treatments and infusions to promote her “natural health.” Federal agents allege she took pride in working as a drug dealer for several celebrities, according to the New York Post.

“Although the defendant also sold methamphetamine, magic mushrooms and other drugs, he specialized in ketamine, which he routinely sold and represented himself as a known drug dealer with high-quality product,” court documents state, according to the New York Post.
The 41-year-old dual US-British national had seemed “carefree” since Perry's death and had been enjoying a party-filled lifestyle in the days before his arrest.
“If anything, she has become more outgoing in recent months,” a longtime friend told The Post.
“She seemed so carefree, like she didn't have a care in the world. She was always going out to parties or dinners or just hanging out. She knew what was coming, but she put on a brave face. She acted like it was no big deal.”

The suspected drug dealer is one of five people arrested in connection with Perry's death and is accused of providing the ketamine that led to the famous actor's death on October 28, 2023.

She pleaded not guilty, but a judge held her without bail while she awaits trial.
According to the New York Post, police searched her home on March 19 and found “approximately three pounds of counterfeit pills, including methamphetamine, 79 vials of ketamine, ketamine powder, 2,127 grams of Xanax pills, psilocybin mushrooms and cocaine.” (RELATED: Police make multiple arrests in connection to Matthew Perry's death)
