JPMorgan Chase offered $1 million to former banker Chirayu Rana before he filed a lawsuit accusing senior executive Lorna Hajdini of sexual assault and workplace harassment, according to The Wall Street Journal. The settlement talks reportedly failed after Rana sought a bigger payout. The lawsuit, filed in a New York court, alleges Hajdini abused her senior position to pressure Rana into sexual encounters and threaten his career. JPMorgan said it tried to avoid a lengthy legal battle and still believes the allegations “have no merit”. The bank also said its internal investigation found no evidence supporting the claims. Hajdini has denied all allegations against her. (PC: India Today)
