Key Accused Involved In Human Trafficking To US Via 'Dunki' Route Arrested In Delhi

The term 'dunki', believed to have originated from the word "donkey", refers to an illegal pathway that immigrants take to enter countries like the United States without proper documentation.

Their risky and arduous travel is usually facilitated by a human-trafficking syndicate.

Accused Gagandeep Singh alias Goldie, a resident of west Delhi's Tilak Nagar, has been arrested by the NIA, an official statement said on Sunday.

Goldie was allegedly paid around ₹45 lakh by a victim from Punjab's Tarn Taran district for illegal immigration, it said.
