Ex-JPMorgan banker Chirayu Rana <\/a>filed a new lawsuit against his former employer \u2014 but backtracked on or left out many of the most explosive claims from his original \u201csex slave\u201d suit.<\/p>\n

Rana\u2019s new lawsuit, filed Monday in Manhattan Federal Court, still accuses bank exec Lorna Hajdini of drugging and sexually assaulting him<\/a>, but ditches the headline-grabbing catchphrases, including \u201cI bet your little Asian, fish head, wife doesn\u2019t have these cannons\u201d from the suit altogether.<\/p>\n

It also amends a previous claim that was proved false \u2014 that he had to take bereavement leave for his father\u2019s death<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Instead, Rana\u2019s federal suit focuses on claims of racism he says he endured at the bank.<\/p>\n

The filing adds three other JPMorgan execs to the suit and claims the bankers regularly called him \u201cbrown boy,\u201d joked about paying him in rupees and threatened to call \u201cICEE\u201d on his family in text messages.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis [lawsuit] seeks to expose and remedy a workplace where racism was normalized, sexual coercion was tolerated, and retaliation was weaponized against those who refused to remain silent,\u201d Rana\u2019s filing reads.<\/p>\n

JPMorgan previously denied all allegations and Hajdini filed a counter-claim for defamation.<\/p>\n

This is the second suit that Rana has brought against the bank. The first, in state court, was dismissed at his request so that he could re-file it in federal court.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Ex-JPMorgan banker Chirayu Rana filed a new lawsuit against his former employer \u2014 but backtracked on or left…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":787755,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[28,2858,8624,2932,3044],"class_list":["post-787754","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-business","tag-business","tag-court","tag-jpmorgan-chase","tag-lawsuit","tag-sexual-harassment"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/787754","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=787754"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/787754\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/787755"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=787754"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=787754"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=787754"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
