A significant workplace dispute at JPMorgan Chase has emerged following allegations made by former employee Chirayu Rana against senior executive Lorna Hajdini. Rana, using the pseudonym 'John Doe,' claims that Hajdini drugged him and coerced him into sexual acts, threatening to reduce his bonus if he did not comply. He filed an internal complaint in May 2025, alleging harassment based on race and gender. In response, JPMorgan Chase conducted an internal investigation, which concluded there was no evidence to support Rana's allegations. The investigation included a review of phone records and emails, and the bank stated that Rana did not cooperate with the inquiry. Hajdini has firmly denied the accusations, asserting that she never engaged in any inappropriate conduct and has never been to the location where the alleged incident occurred. The case gained public attention after a report by the Daily Mail on April 30, 2026, but details were later withdrawn for corrections, adding to the confusion surrounding the situation. The lawsuit also names JPMorgan as a defendant, alleging retaliation and failure to conduct a proper investigation, leaving the case in a state of uncertainty.
