Thuggee Gunman

aggressive relentless panicked under threat

Thuggee Gunman serves Mola Ram's cult as an armed enforcer in the Pankot mines. During the mine cart chase, he boards a pursuing cart with other riflemen, fires his Khyber rifle at Indiana Jones, Willie Scott, and Short Round, and presses the attack amid ricocheting bullets and plunging tunnels. Indiana shoots him, knocking him from the cart; a low beam decapitates him, and his rifle tumbles into enemy hands for further use against Indy. His brief assault highlights the Thuggee forces' coordinated ruthlessness in reclaiming the Sankara Stones.
