Lorna Hajdini sues Chirayu Rana

JPMorgan Chase executive Lorna Hajdini has filed a defamation lawsuit against former banker Chirayu Rana, accusing him of fabricating allegations that she used and abused him as a 'sex slave.' Hajdini's suit, filed in New York State Supreme Court, claims Rana orchestrated a months-long smear campaign to damage her reputation and extort millions from her and JPMorgan Chase. The bank has publicly supported Hajdini, stating that its internal investigation found no evidence to support Rana's claims. Rana had previously sued Hajdini under a pseudonym, alleging sexual assault, harassment, and racist abuse. Reports also indicate that Rana falsely claimed his father had died to obtain bereavement leave and had made similar allegations against a supervisor at a previous employer, Morgan Stanley. The controversy has become a significant Wall Street spectacle, mixing reputational damage and sexual misconduct claims.
