Anurag, 42, of Corona, California, has been charged with murder after authorities say he intentionally rammed his car into a vehicle carrying six teenage boys, killing three of them.
According to authorities, the teens were playing a doorbell ditch prank at his home. One of them reportedly rang the bell and ran back to the car they were riding in. Authorities say Anurag then got into his own car and chased them, hitting their vehicle and forcing it off the road. The car then struck a tree.
Three 16 year old boys died in the crash. The three other teens, including the 18 year old driver, survived with injuries that were described as non life threatening, according to BuzzFeed News.
Authorities say Anurag left the scene after the crash and went to a nearby house, where witnesses followed him. He was arrested shortly after.
The Riverside County District Attorney’s Office charged him on Thursday with three counts of murder and three counts of attempted murder. Prosecutors also filed a special circumstance allegation of multiple murders, according to BuzzFeed News.
These are allegations, and he is presumed innocent unless proven guilty. A public response from Anurag to the charges was not included in the reports we reviewed.
