On 24 October 2023, Sangha allegedly administered the dose of ketamine that resulted in Perry's death, according to US Weekly magazine.
US Weekly reports that in the documents, prosecutors accused Sangha of being involved in a hard drug deal for more than five years. As early as March 2023, police had seized ‘multiple pounds of methamphetamine pills, 79 vials of ketamine, fraudulently obtained pharmaceutical pills and other illegal drugs’ in what they dubbed the ‘Sangha Stash House’ in North Hollywood, California.

In addition to ketamine, authorities found thousands of methamphetamine pills, Xanax and cocaine in her home, according to US Weekly.
Sangha, who also frequented celebrity circles, led a lavish lifestyle that she shared widely on social media. According to BBC reports, Sangha attended awards shows such as the Golden Globes and the Oscars.

Shortly after Perry's death, Sangha continued to post photos of her extravagant life and travelled to Japan and Mexico, according to the BBC.
Sangha is also linked to another overdose death in 2019, after selling ketamine to a man named Cody McLaury, according to US Weekly.
If convicted on all charges, Sangha faces a minimum of 10 years in prison and a maximum of life imprisonment.
In addition to Sangha, four other defendants are implicated in Perry's death, including his personal assistant and two doctors.
