Solution

The correct options are
A robber
D dacoit
A long time ago, the place was full of long, dense bushes and trees. This allowed for it to be a good hiding spot for gangs of notorious dacoits from the area. People then began identifying the place as a safe haven for these dacoits. Such a situation led it to being called "Dokur".
