"Ketamine Queen" Jasveen Sangha plead guilty in Matthew Perry death case
LABAWABA - A woman who was known as the "Ketamine Queen" has decided to admit that she sold the drugs that killed Friends actor Matthew Perry. The Justice Department says that 42-year-old Jasveen Sangha will plead guilty to five charges in Los Angeles. One of the charges is selling ketamine that caused death or serious harm. The person with dual citizenship initially faced nine criminal charges. Federal agents raided her Los Angeles home, describing it as a "drug-selling emporium" and discovering dozens of bottles of ketamine. LOS ANGELES, CA - SEPTEMBER 23: Actor Matthew Perry (Photo by KEVIN WINTER/ Getty Images via AFP) Matthew Perry was found dead in the backyard pool of his Los Angeles home in October 2023. An autopsy revealed that ketamine had killed him quickly. Five people, including doctors and the actor's helper, are accused by US officials of giving Perry ketamine, taking advantage of his drug addiction to make money, and causing him to die of an overdose. They are Dr. Salvador Plasencia and Dr. Mark Chavez, two doctors who sold ketamine; Kenneth Iwamasa, who lived with Perry and helped buy and shoot ketamine into the actor; and Eric Fleming, who sold ketamine to Perry that he had gotten from Sangha. Jasveen Sangha Social Media Since then, all five have decided to plead guilty to the charges in the case. Sangha's criminal hearing had been pushed back several times, but it was now set to start next month. As part of the deal with federal authorities, she will have to go to federal court in the following weeks to officially enter her guilty plea. Her attorney, Mark Geragos, told the BBC in a statement that "she's taking responsibility for her actions." She is going to say she is guilty of one count of keeping a drug-related business open, three counts of selling ketamine, and one count of selling a controlled substance that caused death or major bodily injury. Jasveen Sangha Social Media According to the Justice Department, Sangha could spend up to 65 years in a federal jail. The US Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) says that ketamine is a dissociative anesthetic that can cause hallucinations. It can change how people see and hear things, and it can make them feel disconnected and out of control. It makes people and animals sleepy by separating them from their pain and surroundings. Investigators say that a doctor should administer the substance and that those who take it should be monitored by a professional. People are investigating how Matthew Perry obtained a large quantity of ketamine over several years and the circumstances surrounding his death. This has given us a look into Hollywood's ketamine drug network, which one doctor called the "wild west" in an interview with the BBC. As part of her plea deal, Sangha also admitted that she sold ketamine to a man named Cody McLaury in August 2019. The man died of a drug accident hours after buying the drug, according to the Justice Department. In an indictment, federal officials said that Sangha had been selling ketamine from her "stash house" in North Hollywood since at least 2019. They said that she had worked with celebrities and other high-profile clients. Before her arrest in March 2024, a search revealed thousands of pills, including methamphetamine, cocaine, and Xanax. They also found more than 80 bottles of ketamine there.

Someone who knows Sangha well told the Daily Mail that she went to the Golden Globes and the Oscars and hung out with famous people. Her social media accounts showed that she had a fancy life, with trips to Japan and Mexico and parties.

Over 6,000 student visas revoked by the US this year
ALBAWABA - The US has revoked over 6,000 visas from students during 2025 for different reasons, including overstays and various violations of the law, such as 'support for terrorism,' Fox News mentioned in its report on Monday. The approximately 6,000 canceled visas in 2025 so far resulted primarily from visa overstays or legal encounters involving assault, driving under the influence (DUI) of alcohol or drugs, burglary, or supporting terrorism, the State Department explained. A senior official argued that every student visa revoked under the Trump administration was over a certain violation of American law or because they expressed support for terrorism. In addition, about 4,000 visas were revoked, claiming that visitors violated US laws, including assault and DUI records. On the other hand, 800 students had visas stripped for assault-related incidents, facing either arrest or charges, the official further said.
