Thuggee ( ; ; ; ; ), also known as tuggee refers to the acts of thugs, an organized gang of professional assassins.

The thugs traveled in groups across India for several hundred years. They were devoted to Kali, a Hindu goddess associated with violence, sexuality, and more recently, empowerment.

They were first mentioned in the Ẓiyāʾ-ud-Dīn Baranī ( ) dated around 1356.

In the 1830s they were targeted by William Bentinck, along with his chief captain William Henry Sleeman, for eradication. They were seemingly destroyed by this effort. According to some estimates the Thugs murdered 1 million people between 1740 and 1840.

Thugee has not been a contender in any CBUB matches.
