Executive ne jhoothe aaropon ko kiya kharij!
JPMorgan Chase ki executive Lorna Hajdini ne apne purane colleague Chirayu Rana par case kiya hai. Hajdini ka aarop hai ki Rana ne unpar sexual abuse aur exploitation ke jhoothe aarop lagaye hain. New York State Supreme Court mein daakhil ki gayi lawsuit mein kaha gaya hai ki Rana ne khud Hajdini par aarop lagane ke baad ek "smear campaign" shuru kiya tha.
Hajdini ki legal team ka kehna hai ki Rana ke aarop bilkul jhoothe hain aur unhone yeh sab paisa vasoolne ke liye kiya tha, jismein unhone Hajdini aur JPMorgan Chase dono se lakho dollars maange.
Extortion aur reputation damage ka mamla
Lawsuit mein bataya gaya hai ki Rana ne apne personal fayde ke liye jhoothe aaropon ka istemaal karne ki koshish ki. Kaha ja raha hai ki bank chhodne se pehle usne $20 million se zyada ka settlement maanga tha, aur baad mein $1 million offer ko bhi reject kar diya tha. Hajdini ki lawsuit ka maqsad apni reputation bachana aur Rana ko uske jhoothe actions ke liye zimmedar thahrana hai.
JPMorgan ke spokesperson ne Hajdini ko full support diya hai aur kaha hai ki bank ka maanana hai ki unpar aur firm par lagaye gaye aaropon mein koi dam nahi hai.
Investigation mein nahi mila koi saboot
JPMorgan ki internal inquiry mein Rana ke shuruaati aaropon ka koi saboot nahi mila hai. Bank ka kehna hai ki Rana ne investigation mein poora saath nahi diya aur na hi supporting details provide kiye. Hajdini, jo Leveraged Finance mein executive director hain aur JPMorgan mein 15 saal se kaam kar rahi hain, is legal ladai ke dauran bhi apna kaam kar rahi hain.
Rana, jo pehle Morgan Stanley aur Credit Suisse jaise firms mein kaam kar chuke hain, sabse aakhiri baar investment firm Bregal Sagemount se April 2026 mein alag hue the.
Legal context
New York mein defamation lawsuits ke liye yeh sabit karna zaroori hai ki ek jhootha statement kisi teesre bande ko bataya gaya tha aur usse nuksan hua. Aise claims file karne ki aakhiri tareekh publication date se ek saal baad hoti hai. New York courts factual claims aur protected opinions ke beech fark karti hain, aur sach ek poora defense hota hai.
Yeh mamla high-profile workplace disputes mein reputational aur financial risk ko highlight karta hai, khaas kar competitive financial industry mein.
