The lawsuit against Lorna Hajdini, a senior executive at JPMorgan Chase, raises serious allegations of sexual abuse and racial harassment. The claims come from Chirayu Rana, who filed the lawsuit on April 30, 2026, in New York.
Rana alleges that the misconduct began in spring 2024 when he joined JPMorgan as a senior vice president. He claims Hajdini pressured him into sexual encounters using her authority.
The lawsuit details several troubling incidents. Rana asserts that Hajdini made sexual advances and threats regarding his career advancement. In one instance, she allegedly stated, “If you don’t f**k me soon, I’m going to ruin you… never forget, I f**king own you.”
Rana claims that Hajdini drugged him with Rohypnol and Viagra before these encounters. He also cites two witnesses who corroborate parts of his account.
JPMorgan Chase has denied the allegations. The company stated that an internal investigation found no evidence to support Rana’s claims.
The lawsuit seeks damages for emotional distress, lost earnings, and punitive compensation. Rana has reportedly been diagnosed with PTSD as a result of the alleged abuse.
Hajdini remains employed at JPMorgan despite the ongoing legal battle. The outcome of the lawsuit is currently unknown.
Rana originally filed his complaint anonymously under the name John Doe before revealing his identity. This case has attracted significant media attention due to its implications for workplace conduct in high-profile corporate environments.
As the case unfolds, further developments are expected regarding both the allegations and JPMorgan’s response to them.
