A former JPMorgan banker, Chirayu Rana, who alleged his boss made him her “sex slave,” reportedly persuaded his sister to provide false testimony on his behalf. She claimed to have witnessed Lorna Hajdini kiss him on the neck and say, “I own you, Brownie.” This revelation comes as part of a recent filing by the bank seeking to throw out the case.
Rana is said to have involved both his sister and a close friend to support his disturbing claims against Hajdini. In response to his accusations, Hajdini asserted last month that Rana was engaging in a “deliberate and sustained scheme” to malign her character as a racist sexual predator and criminal.
In a filing submitted in federal court in Manhattan, JPMorgan reiterated its accusations of dishonesty and unethical behavior from Rana, arguing that these issues warrant the harshest possible penalties.
The bank contended that Rana had his sister, Chandani, and his friend, Allan Flott, lie to enhance his allegations that Hajdini compelled him into sexual acts and demanded submissive conduct.
Initially, Chandani Rana stated she saw Hajdini kiss her brother and use derogatory language, echoing the claims of racism made by Rana. However, she retracted those statements earlier this month, clarifying, “I have never seen Ms. Hajdini engage in any inappropriate, sexual, harassing, threatening, or intoxicated conduct toward my brother or anyone else.”
Flott had previously suggested that Hajdini encouraged him to join Rana for a threesome, reportedly saying, “You know, I own Chirayu, so you’d better come join.” JPMorgan claimed that Flott was misled by Rana, but he has yet to recant his account.
In April, Rana accused Hajdini of coercing him into sexual acts in exchange for professional advancement, including allegations of forced oral sex and threats to destroy his career if he refused to comply. He also accused the firm of fostering a racist and sexually harassing environment.
Both JPMorgan and Hajdini, who countersued in May for damages, are now seeking reimbursement for their legal expenses. Hajdini’s attorney, Melissa Rodriguez, noted in a court document that while no ruling can truly restore Hajdini’s reputation or erase her suffering, the court could end this dispute, hold those responsible accountable, and alleviate Hajdini’s ongoing distress.
Rana has faced difficulties securing legal representation during the proceedings.
His current attorney, Jon Norinsberg, has requested to withdraw from the case, citing “irreconcilable differences” with Rana. Norinsberg refrained from commenting, referencing court guidelines. Earlier, attorney Daniel Kaiser had also withdrawn from representing Rana in May, and another lawyer ended their representation during settlement talks prior to the lawsuit’s initiation.
Rana departed from JPMorgan in late 2025 to join private equity firm Bregal Sagemount, which severed ties with him in April after less than six months, citing concerns over his performance, as reported by company insiders.
The Post has reached out to Norinsberg for further comment.
