Former JPMorgan banker Chirayu Rana’s salacious lawsuit accusing his female boss of forcing him to be her “sex slave” is likely falling apart at the seams, legal experts told The Post.Recent developments in the sensational Manhattan case — including Rana’s original lawyer looking to exit hours before a hearing and the plaintiff’s hiring of a slew of new pricy lawyers trying to ditch state court for a federal venue — are signs of “emotional desperation” and a failing lawsuit, they said.“He, in my opinion, does not have a case,” said employment lawyer Nicole Brenecki.One glaring indication of the case’s problems is that Rana’s new five-member legal team moved to drop it in state court last week and refile it in federal court, citing “new” evidence and federal statutes. On paper, the move has no major procedural or strategic benefit except one: Rana could be fleeing state court after facing a no-nonsense judge who vocalized skepticism at their first hearing last month, the experts said.“It’s the same nature of the accusations and the same relief, which means that they’re likely forum-shopping,” Brenecki said.Judge Dakota Ramseur — who Brenecki argues before regularly – is “so no-nonsense, no bulls–t” and has no patience for frivolous suits clogging the state court system, she said.Brenecki added that Ramseur’s comment urging an out-of-court resolution in the case “was not a great sign for [Rana]. “Translated into layman’s terms: this case is such nonsense, and it should not occupy the court’s docket,” Brenecki said.Another lawyer, David Ring, said that while Rana’s reasons for swapping out state court for federal jurisdiction may be legitimate, he’s just as likely to be “trying his luck with a different judge in federal court.“Rana could be in for a rude awakening if he filed a completely bogus lawsuit that destroyed an innocent person’s reputation,” Ring said.“Federal judges will not tolerate...
