JPMorgan says ex-banker Rana pushed sister, friend to lie to support sexual assault case

JPMorgan Chase has requested the dismissal of a sexual harassment and discrimination lawsuit filed by former investment banker Chirayu Rana, alleging that he coerced his sister and a longtime friend into lying to support his case. The bank's filing claims that Rana's actions demonstrate bad faith and sustained misconduct, warranting the most severe sanction available.

Additionally, JPMorgan's co-defendant, Lorna Hajdini, has sought a dismissal, countering Rana's claims that she forced him into sexual acts and demanded submission to boost his career. Hajdini's lawyer argues that the court can hold those responsible accountable and put an end to the fraudulent litigation.
