The identity and professional background of the victim of JPMorgan Executive Director, Lorna Hajdini might have been uncovered.
Lorna Hajdini, an Executive Director at JPMorgan Chase is currently under intense online scrutiny. The woman has been making headlines since April 30, 2026, after her high-profile lawsuit filed in the New York County Supreme Court got publicised. A junior male colleague, referred to as 'John Doe,' accused Lorna of sexual abuse and professional coercion. The colleague also alleged that she threatened to ruin his career if he didn't engage in a physical relationship with her. The incident brought forth discussions of abuse of power in the workplace and sparked a hate train against her. Amid that, the victim's identity might have been uncovered.

Before his current role at his company, Chirayu held several positions at major financial institutions, including serving as Vice President at JPMorgan, where he focused on the technology and software sectors.
It is this professional experience of Chirayu that prompted the media outlet, Times Now to report that he was the victim of Lorna Hajdini. Notably, the report also noted that this information is highly contested and not confirmed as an absolute fact. According to the New York Post, Chirayu claimed that Lorna's abuse against him began shortly after he joined JPMorgan's leveraged-finance team in the spring of 2024. The report also stated that he did not report to Lorna and the two were simply colleagues on the leveraged finance team, which works on large corporate acquisitions, mergers, and buyouts.
As per the New York Post, Lorna Hajdini reported to managing director, Brandon Graffeo, while Chirayu Rana was supervised by another managing director, Jon Wolter. According to his Bregal Sagemount profile, his is career trajectory also included his role as an Analyst/Associate in Credit Suisse, an M&A Group in New York. Additionally, he served as an Associate in the Strategic Credit Solutions Group at The Carlyle Group and as an investment professional at Morgan Stanley Investment Management. Regarding his academic background, he reportedly holds a B.S. in Finance from Rutgers Business School and was a member of the men's soccer team at Rutgers-Newark.
The victim, an Indian male senior vice president identified as 'John Doe' (purportedly Chirayu Rana), filed a lawsuit in April 2026 against Lorna Hajdini. He alleged a "disturbing pattern" of sexual assault, racial harassment, and professional coercion by Lorna, who is an Executive Director at JPMorgan. He claimed that she used her senior position to force him into "non-consensual and humiliating sexual acts." She reportedly told him, "If you don't f**k me soon, I'm going to ruin you," and threatened his promotion and year-end bonuses if he did not agree to her demands.
The lawsuit alleged that Lorna Hajdini admitted to drugging John Doe with Rohypnol and erection-enabling medication on multiple occasions to facilitate coerced sexual encounters. She allegedly insulted the victim by hurling several racial slurs at him, repeatedly calling him "my little brown boy," "brown boy Indian," and "boy toy". She also reportedly made derogatory remarks about his wife, calling her an "Asian fish head." The complaint further claimed that Lorna used her executive credentials to gain unauthorised access to John's personal bank accounts to track his location and monitor his activities.
