ISLAMABAD – British-American woman Jasveen Sangha was from wealthy and highly educated family, who has been sentenced as the central figure in a high-profile drug trafficking case that implicated some of Hollywood’s elite.
Once a socialite known for lavish parties and a glam events, Jasveen now faces up to 65 years in federal prison for her role in supplying drugs that contributed to the death of Friends actor Matthew Perry.
Court documents reveal that Sangha operated a “stash house” in North Hollywood, storing cocaine, Xanax, counterfeit Adderall, and ketamine. Federal investigators say she maintained a large network supplying drugs to celebrities and affluent individuals. She legally prescribed ketamine for depression, reportedly sought larger doses and obtained the drug through intermediaries linked to Singha. She and five others, including two doctors, have confessed to their involvement.
Having a privileged background, Sangha’s grandparents were millionaires in London’s fashion retail industry, and her parents ran successful businesses in California. Despite this, she reportedly developed a fascination with the Hollywood party scene and ketamine use. Sources indicate she briefly ran a nail salon and had entrepreneurial ambitions but became increasingly absorbed in the glamorous and dangerous lifestyle of elite social circles.

Authorities say this case also exposed wider ketamine distribution network that spanned borders, with drugs sourced from corrupt doctors and pharmacies in Mexico. Drug enforcement termed Sangha “a highly educated woman who chose to profit from drug trafficking to maintain a high-profile social life.”
Her legal team confirmed that Sangha has been clean for 17 months and expressed remorse for the deaths connected to her actions, while final sentencing is scheduled for February 2026.
This case brought renewed attention to the dangers of recreational and illegal ketamine use, particularly among affluent social groups, and serves as a stark reminder of how privilege and power can mask criminal activity.
