New Delhi : A new report appears to have punched holes in allegations of workplace sexual harassment and racial abuse made against senior JPMorgan Chase executive Lorna Hajdini by a former employee, identified as Chirayu Rana by The New York Post. The 35-year-old Rana, who is currently working as a principal at investment firm Bregal Sagemount, had filed the lawsuit earlier this week under the pseudonym John Doe.
Rana accused Hajdini, 37, an executive director, of subjecting him to sexual abuse, including claims that she drugged him with Rohypnol and Viagra and threatened to cut his bonus if he did not comply. Rana, who is of Asian origin, according to various social media users, had accused her of calling him “my little brown boy” while making sexual innuendos. He recalled that Hajdini once allegedly said, “Birthday BJ for the brown boy? My little brown boy.”
The Daily Mail first reported the case on Wednesday evening, citing details from a court filing that was later withdrawn for “corrections.” Hajdini, who works on JPMorgan’s leveraged finance team, was also accused of arriving unannounced at Rana’s flat and forcing him to have sex. Hajdini denied the allegations in a statement issued to The Post through her lawyers, saying: “Lorna categorically denies the allegations.
He said the alleged coercion began soon after he joined JPMorgan’s leveraged finance team in the spring of 2024. The New York Post reported that he later filed an internal complaint in May 2025, alleging race-based and gender-based harassment and abuse of power, before attempting to negotiate a payout running into “millions” to leave the bank.JPMorgan denied the allegations in full.
