Lorna Hajdini's accuser, Chirayu Rana a.k.a John Doe, faced bigger trouble ahead of an important court hearing scheduled on May 26, 2026.
JPMorgan and its executive director, Lorna Hajdini, dominated the headlines last month after a former employee, Chirayu Rana, filed a lawsuit against her. In his petition, Chirayu a.k.a John Doe alleged that Lorna has forced him to be her 'sex slave.' Earlier, this month, in May 2026, reports stated that Chirayu has hired renowned lawyer, Daniel Kaiser, who previously represented women linked to the Jeffrey Epstein case. According to the latest reports, Chirayu is now facing bigger troubles ahead of an important case hearing.
On June 26, 2026, Chirayu Rana and his lawyer, Daniel Kaiser, were due to appear before the court related to the lawsuit filed against Lorna Hajdini. However, just hours before their court appearance, Daniel filed a consent to be discharged as the attorney for Chirayu Rana. According to a report by the New York Post, Daniel dropped his client just hours before an important court hearing.
It was quite shocking for Chirayu, as according to the document, he does not have a new lawyer lined up, and thus will be representing himself 'pro se' until he decides to find a new attorney. For the unversed, according to Legal Information Institute, pro se is a Latin term that means one's self. Since the case was first filed, Daniel Kaiser has repeatedly defended Rana’s claims. However, the reason behind Daniel’s sudden decision to step down as Chirayu’s attorney is still unknown.
At the end of April 2026, the controversy involving Lorna Hajdini and Chirayu Rana made headlines. Chirayu, under the pseudonym, John Doe, filed a lawsuit against Lorna in New York. He accused Lorna of sexual assault, racial harassment and intimidation inside the workplace. In his plea, John mentioned that Lorna had allegedly made a racist remark about his Asian wife. The controversy quickly sparked major debate due to the critical nature of the allegations and the seniority of the people involved.
In his lawsuit, John mentioned that back in May 2024, he received an invitation from Lorna and when he rejected it, Lorna allegedly said, "If you don’t f**k me soon, I’m going to ruin you... never forget, I fking own you." He also claimed that the JP Morgan’s executive director, Lorna often told him that he would have promotions and career advancements in JPMorgan only if he sexually pleases her. He also mentioned that Lorna turned him into her 'sex slave.' Chirayu claimed that Lorna drugged him with Rohypnol and Viagra and threatened to cut his bonus.
Later, Chirayu filed a fresh lawsuit with additional accusations. In the fresh lawsuit, a family friend of Chirayu was invited into a threesome act involving Chirayu and Lorna. According to that unnamed person, Lorna, in the middle of the night, woke him up and invited him to her bedroom. At the time, she was allegedly naked and intoxicated. A few witnesses allegedly saw Lorna and Chirayu kissing in public. However, Lorna has denied the claims made by Chirayu. Her lawyer said:
"Lorna categorically denies the allegations. She never engaged in any inappropriate conduct with this individual of any kind and has never even been to the location where the alleged sexual assault supposedly took place."
On May 19, 2026, Lorna Hajdini filed a legal defamation case against him. In fact, according to The Wall Street Journal, JP Morgan had offered Chirayu Rana about USD 1 million to settle the case. However, Chirayu’s then-attorney, Daniel, countered with a proposal worth USD 11.75 million.
