JPMorgan Chase executive Lorna Hajdini is facing a new lawsuit from Chirayu Rana, a former banker who has accused her of sexual misconduct, discrimination and retaliation. The latest legal filing includes allegations that Hajdini attempted to involve another person in a sexual encounter while allegedly intoxicated and naked.
The claims are part of a wider lawsuit brought by Rana, who has previously accused Hajdini of sexual assault and creating a hostile workplace environment. Hajdini and the other defendants have not been found liable, and the allegations remain unproven in court.
Threesome Pressure Adds to Lawsuit
According to court filings, Rana says that Hajdini propositioned a threesome involving him and another person in September 2024. Hajdini had allegedly threatened to harm his chances of receiving a promotion unless he agreed to have sex with her.
After that encounter, Hajdini and Rana went to his family member's Manhattan apartment. The banker claims that his former boss was 'visibly intoxicated' and speaking loudly enough to wake a witness who was at the apartment.
The filing claims Hajdini later entered the living room while completely naked and pressured him to join them. The witness reportedly refused multiple times before returning to the bedroom.
The witness alleges he heard Rana telling Hajdini to stop and leave. After Hajdini left, the banker was reportedly left shaken and in shock.
Rana also claims Hajdini later added a performance-enhancing substance to his drink without his knowledge, alleging she admitted to giving him 'a little something.'

Allegations of Workplace Abuse and Retaliation
The latest filing follows earlier legal action from Rana in April, when he accused Hajdini of sexual assault and other alleged workplace misconduct.
The lawsuit alleges that the banker experienced a pattern of inappropriate behaviour, including claims that Hajdini pressured him into sexual situations. It also accuses several executives and JPMorgan Chase of failing to prevent a hostile working environment.
Rana has also made allegations of racial discrimination, claiming that executives used racist remarks against him, including references to his ethnicity. The lawsuit names JPMorgan executives Brandon Graffeo, Jon Wolter and Kelly Crowe as defendants alongside the company.
Executive Conduct Under Scrutiny
Lorna Hajdini is a managing director at JPMorgan Chase, one of the world's largest financial institutions. Cases involving alleged misconduct by senior executives often attract attention because they raise broader questions about workplace power dynamics, reporting systems and accountability within major organisations.
Under US employment law, companies can face legal action if employees claim they experienced harassment or discrimination and the organisation failed to respond appropriately.
What Happens Next?
Chirayu Rana is seeking unspecified damages, unpaid wages, legal fees and other relief. The lawsuit will now move through the court process, where both sides will have the opportunity to present evidence and arguments.
Neither Hajdini nor the other named defendants have been found responsible for the allegations at this stage.
As the case develops, attention will likely remain on how allegations involving workplace relationships, executive authority and claims of misconduct are handled within large financial institutions.
The lawsuit also highlights broader conversations around workplace culture and the fact that misconduct allegations can affect people of any gender. While many high-profile cases have focused on women coming forward, men can also report experiences of harassment, coercion or abuse of power in professional settings.
The case adds to ongoing discussions about the importance of clear workplace policies and accountability measures designed to address allegations of harassment, discrimination and misuse of authority.
