Jasveen Sangha, a Los Angeles based drug dealer dubbed the ‘Ketamine Queen’ was sentenced to 15 years in prison in connection with popular TV series Friends star Matthew Perry's 2023 death including her role in supplying the dose of the powerful anesthetic that killed the actor. Sangha, admitted to running a ‘stash house’ for illegal narcotics out of her home in the North Hollywood district. She pleaded guilty in September 2023 to five felony drug counts stemming from Perry's death at age 54. During a search of her home in March 2024, authorities recovered multiple substances, including cocaine, counterfeit Xanax, methamphetamine pills, and nearly 80 vials of liquid ketamine. Sangha was born in London to parents Nilem Singh and Baljeet Singh Chhokar and is of Sikh origin. Meanwhile, Amritpal Singh Mehron, the alleged mastermind in the murder of social media influencer Kanchan Kumari alias Kamal Kaur Bhabhi, was taken into custody in the United Arab Emirates and deported to Panjab. Kanchan’s brutal murder had sent shockwaves across Panjab in June 2025. The influencer was allegedly lured to Bathinda under the pretext of a promotional event and strangled to death on the night of 9 Jun 2025. Her body was found three days later inside a car parked at Adarsh University, Bathinda. Investigations said that Mehron, a Nihang Sikh (dressed as traditional Sikh warrior), along with two accomplices—Jaspreet Singh and Nimratjit Singh—carried out the killing. The motive was linked to Kanchan’s social media content which the accused claimed offended Sikh sentiments. Mehron is now in the custody of Bathinda police. Additionally, rapper-singer Aditya Prateek Singh Sisodia alias Badshah, issued an apology to the National Commission for Women over the release of his new song Tateeree which had sparked controversy over misogyny. He said the song has been taken down from all platforms and pledged to sponsor the education of 50 girls from economically weaker sections. The Delhi High Court has also asked for the immediate removal of another track Volume 1 released in 2007 by Badshah and Hirdesh Singh alias Honey Singh stating its lyrics are highly inappropriate, offensive, and disrespectful towards women (earlier coverage).
