Lorna Hajdini’s accuser Chirayu Rana allegedly sought chatbot advice months before filing lawsuit

A resurfaced online exchange has added a new layer to the case

Fresh scrutiny has emerged in the legal battle involving JPMorgan executive Lorna Hajdini after reports claimed her accuser, Chirayu Rana, sought advice from an online legal chatbot months before filing his lawsuit.

According to screenshots cited by The New York Post, Rana allegedly used a legal-advice platform last July to describe claims of sexual assault, workplace retaliation and forced drug use linked to a former employer. In the reported exchange, he wrote, “I was raped,” while asking what legal options might be available.

The resurfaced conversation has drawn attention because several details described in the alleged chatbot exchange appear to differ from the claims later made in the lawsuit filed against Hajdini. The report noted that, at points in the conversation, the alleged abuser was described as male, contrasting with the later complaint naming Hajdini.

Chirayu Rana asked for help with his problem from a chatbot. In the process, we can see a major inconsistency in his story.

He originally said the abuser was a male! I guess he eventually thought it was better to pick the hottest woman he worked with to go after.

The exchange also reportedly referenced incidents dating back to 2020, a timeline that has raised further questions because Rana did not join JPMorgan’s leveraged finance team until 2024.

The lawsuit, later withdrawn for corrections, accused Hajdini of coercive sexual abuse, harassment and intimidation. Through her lawyers, Hajdini has denied all allegations and said she never engaged in any inappropriate conduct with Rana.

JPMorgan Chase has also rejected the claims, saying its internal investigation found no evidence supporting the allegations. The case remains unresolved, and the claims have not been proven in court.
