It described how thousands of Indian travelers, rich and poor, of high and low station, had been ^robbed, and killed by members of a crime cult that operated systematically and in accordance with religious ritual. Strangling by silk handkerchief "was the orthodox method of murder. New members were carefully drilled in the art. • Working by prearranged signals, the Thugs would join a group of unsuspecting travelers, and when opportunity came would kill the victims and then bury their bodies in selected graveyards. One limitation on the murderer was that the victim should spill no blood.
