Indian slang for a people smuggler — someone who facilitates illegal border crossings or transports migrants clandestinely for payment. The term is particularly associated with smuggling networks operating in South and Southeast Asia. Like many criminal-trade terms, donker functions as insider vocabulary that obscures the nature of the activity to outsiders. Its use reflects the complex and often dangerous world of undocumented migration.
Authorities arrested a known donker near the border who had allegedly been moving migrants across for several months.
