Ex-JPMorgan Banker Referred for Mental Health Support After Investigation Finds No Evidence in Abuse Claims

A former JPMorgan Chase banker, Chirayu Rana, has reportedly been referred for mental health treatment after prosecutors found no evidence to support his criminal allegations against a senior colleague.

According to reports, the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office opened an investigation last summer after Rana accused senior JPMorgan executive Lorna Hajdini of subjecting him to abuse, coercion, and degrading treatment.

Rana, 35, had made a series of serious allegations against Hajdini, including claims that she drugged him, forced him into humiliating sexual acts, used racist language, and threatened his career if he did not comply.

The accusations gained public attention after he filed a lawsuit against his former colleague, bringing the allegations into open court.

However, sources familiar with the matter said the criminal investigation was eventually closed after authorities found no evidence of criminal wrongdoing. The decision reportedly led prosecutors to refer Rana for mental health treatment and support services instead.

A spokesperson for the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office declined to comment publicly on the case. In updated court documents filed on Monday, Rana referenced what he described as an “open criminal investigation” while also noting that he had received support through the district attorney’s victim services division. He also requested permission to remain anonymous in the lawsuit.

As part of his filing, Rana stated that he had been enrolled in New York State’s Address Confidentiality Program following a referral from the district attorney’s office. The programme is typically used to help protect individuals who may be victims of crimes such as domestic violence, stalking, or sexual assault by providing an alternative address.

Rana argued that his engagement with the district attorney’s victim support services demonstrated institutional recognition of him as a victim prior to the lawsuit being filed.

Court filings also revealed that Rana had already begun seeking mental health support months before the referral from prosecutors. According to the documents, he contacted psychotherapist Jonathan Albert in early February and had previously sent an email describing symptoms including nightmares, emotional distress, and hearing Hajdini’s voice in his head.

Rana reportedly said he was later diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in October. Meanwhile, JPMorgan has strongly denied the allegations from the outset, reportedly describing them as entirely fabricated.

The case has generated significant attention due to the serious nature of the claims, the involvement of senior financial professionals, and the unusual development of a criminal investigation concluding without supporting evidence.
