In a case that continues to unfold with surprising twists, new details have emerged. Former JPMorgan banker Chirayu Rana was referred to mental health treatment by prosecutors after they launched a criminal investigation into his claims against Lorna Hajdini, according to a report by The Post.
During the summer of 2025, the Manhattan District Attorney's Office began looking into the allegations after the 35-year-old accused JP Morgan Chase's Leveraged Finance Division executive director of sexual abuse. The allegations, which JPMorgan dismissed as fabricated, sparked a viral controversy last week when Rana filed a lawsuit accusing his 37-year-old former colleague of drugging him, coercing him into degrading sex acts, calling him racist names, and threatening his career.
While the exact timing of Rana's approach to the DA's office remains unclear, the probe was closed after no evidence of criminal wrongdoing was uncovered, sources said. In updated court filings on Monday, Rana cited what he claimed was an "open criminal investigation" and his mental health referral under the DA office's victim support services. As evidence, he alleged enrollment in the state's Address Confidentiality Program, which provides victims of sex crimes with an alternative address for safety. He also stated that a counselor with the Survivor Services Bureau of the New York County District Attorney's Office had engaged with him regarding the open criminal investigation by the Manhattan District Attorney's Trial Division. Rana claimed the DA's investigation and referral to victims' services demonstrated "independent third-party institutional engagement with me as a victim, predating by months the filing of this action," according to his affidavit.
Additionally, in the filing, Rana mentioned seeking mental health care months before the DA filing, starting in early February from psychotherapist Jonathan Albert. He included a June 2025 email to the therapist describing symptoms such as hearing Hajdini's voice inside his head and experiencing "recurrent nightmares" about the alleged assaults. The filings indicate that the therapist diagnosed him with PTSD in October.
While Rana has made explosive claims against Hajdini and JPMorgan, both have denied the allegations. An internal probe by the bank found no evidence of wrongdoing, according to numerous sources. Furthermore, in the days following the filing, questions have arisen about the truth of Rana's claims, including discrepancies regarding his father's death.
