Former JPMorgan Executive Files Federal Civil Rights Complaint Alleging Racism, Sexual Abuse and Retaliation
A former executive at JPMorgan Chase & Co., Chirayu Rana, has filed a federal civil rights complaint alleging racial discrimination, sexual coercion, and retaliation. The lawsuit names the bank along with several senior executives as defendants and includes preserved team messages and witness accounts to support its claims. According to the filing, Mr. Rana was reportedly subjected to racist slurs such as 'Brown Boy' and 'monkey,' and his career advancement was allegedly tied to compliance with sexual demands by a supervisor. After reporting these incidents in May 2025, he was removed from work, had access revoked, and placed on indefinite leave without explanation. The complaint also alleges that Mr. Rana received anonymous racial threats referencing personal information known only within his JPMorgan team. Despite repeated requests for an investigation into the source of these threats, JPMorgan reportedly failed to conduct a meaningful inquiry.
