Dolas, had in fact escaped from prison a few years prior to the shootout. However, they were also fugitives on the run, with ongoing arrest warrants for them. They also conducted extortion activities on Ibrahim's behalf. Dolas and Buwa were a feared duo and soon began a steady rise within the ranks of the D-Company. This brought them into favour with Ibrahim, who was gunning for the Joshi gang after the killing of his pointman Satish Raje. He then convinced notorious Joshi gang sharpshooter Dilip Buwa to switch sides and together on 17 September 1989, they led a stealth attack against the Joshi gang in Kanjurmarg, in which five people were killed. Īfter Joshi's murder, Dolas later broke out of the Ashok Joshi gang, and formed his own gang. On 3 December 1988, Joshi was killed at the Bombay- Pune road near Panvel by a 15-man hit squad led by Chhota Rajan at Ibrahim's orders. Dolas had got his start running several successful extortion rackets for the criminal- politician, Ashok Joshi's gang at Kanjurmarg. Among the most prominent was Mahindra Dolas, a gangster who was known more popularly by his nickname Maya. From his base in Dubai, Ibrahim controlled underworld activities through his various lieutenants. In the late 1980s, the Bombay Underworld was under the firm control of the D-Company, headed by Dawood Ibrahim. It was crossed with an "X" after his death, signifying that he was eliminated.
