A lawsuit against JPMorgan Chase executive Lorna Hajdini has been filed by John Doe in the New York Supreme Court. The lawsuit alleges sexual harassment, abuse of authority, and workplace misconduct by Hajdini.
The complaint states that Hajdini targeted a junior male colleague soon after he joined the firm in March 2024. It includes claims of repeated sexual advances and racially offensive remarks made by Hajdini.
Hajdini allegedly made derogatory remarks about Doe’s wife and initiated sexual acts despite his resistance. The lawsuit claims that she threatened Doe’s career if he did not comply with her advances.
Chirayu Rana, a former analyst, is identified as the man behind the lawsuit filed under the pseudonym John Doe. Rana’s complaint alleges that Hajdini drugged him and forced him into sexual acts.
JPMorgan has denied the allegations, stating that an internal investigation found no merit in the claims. Hajdini has also denied all allegations, asserting she never engaged in inappropriate conduct with Rana.
The case has drawn significant attention due to the serious nature of the allegations and the high-profile status of the individuals involved. Rana filed an internal complaint at JPMorgan Chase in May 2025 regarding race- and gender-based harassment.
Observers await further developments as legal proceedings unfold. The outcome may set a precedent for workplace conduct within major financial institutions.
