Overview

  • Jasveen Sangha agreed to plead guilty to five federal counts, including distribution of ketamine resulting in death, three distribution counts, and maintaining a drug‑involved premises.
  • Prosecutors say Sangha supplied vials to an intermediary, Erik Fleming, who sold doses to Perry through assistant Kenneth Iwamasa, including 25 vials for $6,000 four days before the actor died.
  • Court filings state Iwamasa injected Perry with at least three shots from Sangha‑supplied vials on the day of his death, which the medical examiner attributed primarily to acute effects of ketamine.
  • In her plea agreement, Sangha admitted selling ketamine to a man who died of an overdose in 2019 and acknowledged operating a North Hollywood stash house where DEA agents later seized drugs.
  • After learning of Perry’s death, Sangha attempted to delete Signal messages, and all four co‑defendants—two doctors, the assistant, and the intermediary—have already pleaded guilty, with sentencing still pending for all five.
