Jasveen Sangha, a 42-year-old Indian-origin British-American drug dealer, has been sentenced to 15 years in prison for her involvement in the death of actor Matthew Perry, known for his role in the television series Friends. Sangha, who operated a large-scale drug trafficking business from her upscale apartment in Los Angeles, was found guilty of supplying ketamine that contributed to Perry's overdose in 2023. Prosecutors revealed that she marketed herself as an exclusive dealer for wealthy Hollywood clients and sold 51 vials of ketamine to Perry through his personal assistant. Following Perry's death, Sangha attempted to destroy evidence by instructing her accomplice to delete their communications. Despite her defense team's arguments for leniency based on her lack of prior criminal history and rehabilitation efforts, the judge emphasized the gravity of her actions, particularly given her education and privileged background. Sangha had previously pleaded guilty to five federal charges related to Perry's overdose and has been in custody since her arrest in August 2024.
