Sounds as though the Thugs are back. I wonder why this article doesn't use the word.

The Thugs were a very specific sub-group of Kali-worshippers who ambushed, murdered and robbed travelers. They were by no means the only human-sacrificing group among those who worshipped her.

Oddly enough, some Thuggee were Muslims. How they rationalized combining human sacrifice worship of Kali with Islam is a darn good question.

They only murdered Christians, Jews, and Hindus?
