Former JPMorgan Chase Banker Expands Lurid Sexual Harassment, Racism Lawsuit
The amended 82-page complaint adds three defendants and seeks damages for alleged discrimination, harassment, retaliation and defamation after Rana says his career was ruined.
- On Monday, former JPMorgan Chase banker Chirayu Rana filed an 82-page federal civil rights complaint in Manhattan, expanding his lawsuit with new defendants and allegations of systemic racial and sexual harassment.
- Rana alleges his Nepali heritage made him the target of degrading jokes, including slurs like "monkey" and "brown boy," while Executive Director Lorna Hajdini allegedly coerced him into sexual acts by threatening his career.
- The amended complaint names Managing Directors Brandon Graffeo and Jon Wolter, along with associate Kelly Crowe, as defendants who allegedly fostered a workplace where racism was tolerated and discrimination ignored.
- JPMorgan maintains the claims are meritless, while Hajdini has countersued Rana for defamation, arguing his allegations "wreaked havoc" on her life and were fabricated for personal enrichment.
- The litigation serves as a test of how major Wall Street employers defend against systemic misconduct allegations, particularly as JPMorgan generated $37.6 billion of profit in the first half of 2026.
