Chirayu Rana, 35, was ditched by high-profile New York City lawyer Daniel Kaiser ahead of a hearing on Tuesday, per filings obtained by the Daily Mail. Kaiser, who previously represented Jeffrey Epstein victims, agreed to be discharged as attorney for Rana. According to the filing, Rana will now be representing himself pro se in court until he finds a new lawyer in his case against banking executive Lorna Hajdini, 37.
Kaiser was set to appear on Tuesday to argue that Rana should be officially cited only as John Doe in court proceedings, after he initially filed anonymously before being identified when his lawsuit went viral. It comes days after Hajdini filed defamation claims against Rana, accusing him of humiliating her with his allegations that she turned him into a sex slave while she was his boss.
Rana's lawsuit alleged that Hajdini forced him into humiliating sex acts while they worked at the bank's leveraged finance division, including accusing her of drugging and racially abusing him. Hajdini vehemently denies the allegations, and JPMorgan said an internal investigation found no evidence of wrongdoing and that Rana's claims had no merit.
Chirayu Rana, 35, an ex-JPMorgan Chase banker who launched a salacious sex abuse lawsuit against his former boss, has been abruptly dropped by his attorney hours before a court hearing. Rana accused his former boss Lorna Hajdini of turning him into her office sex slave. She denies the allegations and has filed a counter suit against him.
Rana's lawsuit against Hajdini circulated on social media last month as he made a series of lewd and salacious allegations, including that Hajdini threatened his career if he rejected her advances. He accused her of coercing him into humiliating sex acts over months, and said she admitted to drugging him with roofies and performing sex acts on him against his will as he cried for help.
Rana alleged that the advances from Hajdini continued for months throughout 2024, which he said escalated into sexual assault. He also claimed that Hajdini admitted to drugging him with the date-rape drug and other drugs without his knowledge before some encounters to incapacitate him and facilitate sexual activity, according to the complaint. He said the alleged harassment escalated to Hajdini using her executive status at the bank to gain unauthorized access to his bank account to track his every move.
Rana was unmasked as the accuser behind last week's bombshell JPMorgan lawsuit by insiders at the bank, who accused him of fabricating the claims. The claims against Hajdini were investigated by the DA but a criminal case was not pursued due to a lack of evidence, sources told the Daily Mail. Rana was diagnosed with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder shortly after leaving the bank in October 2025, which he attributes to the alleged assaults.
His symptoms allegedly include sleep deprivation due to recurring nightmares, flashbacks tied to the JPMC workplace, fainting episodes, and anger dysregulation directed at family and loved ones, according to the filing. A spokesman for JPMorgan Chase said a thorough internal investigation found no evidence to support Rana's accusations. The Manhattan District Attorney's Office investigated the allegations but dropped the probe due to a lack of evidence.
Rana's lawsuit against Hajdini has sparked a defamation counter-suit from Hajdini, who denies all the allegations. The case is ongoing, with Rana now representing himself in court until he finds a new lawyer
