Why JPMorgan lawyers don't want Chirayu Rana to drop his bombshell 'sex slave' lawsuit
New York Post • • entertainment
Key Points:
- Ex-JPMorgan banker Chirayu Rana seeks to withdraw his "sex slave" lawsuit against JPMorgan and a female supervisor, but the bank is opposing his attempt to drop the claims and refile in federal court.
- JPMorgan and supervisor Lorna Hajdini accuse Rana of "gross negligence," "gamesmanship," and "blatant forum shopping," arguing he should not be allowed to restart litigation in a different court after changing lawyers.
- The lawsuit, filed in April, alleges Rana was drugged and sexually exploited by Hajdini, who also made racist remarks; both defendants deny the claims and have filed counterclaims, including defamation.
- JPMorgan demands Rana's former lawyer disclose any false evidence or statements, indicating a push to expose alleged fabrications in the case.
- Rana's current attorneys deny allegations of forum shopping and claim they will comply with court orders to refile under Rana’s real name, accusing defendants of attempting to discredit the survivor and distract from the allegations.
