'''Dilip Buwa''' (born '''Dilip Kohok'''; 1966 — 16 November 1991) was a notorious Indian gangster who used to work for the [[D-Company]], an international crime syndicate of the [[Mumbai underworld]] led by [[Dawood Ibrahim]]. He was one of the men who were killed in 1991 by an [[Encounter killings|encounter]] during the [[1991 Lokhandwala Complex shootout|Lokhandwala Complex shootout]]. Buwa was killed by then Additional [[Police Commissioner of Mumbai]], [[Aftab Ahmed Khan|A. A. Khan]].<br />
<br />
Buwa was portrayed by [[Tusshar Kapoor]] in the [[Bollywood]] film ''[[Shootout at Lokhandwala]]'' (2007).<br />
<br />
The director of the movie, [[Apoorva Lakhia]], stated in an interview that Buwa once shot two girls at a bus stand in [[Bhandup]], just because they were laughing at him.<ref>[http://www.expressindia.com/ws/fullstory.php?newsid=87085 When Bachchans and Viveik came together]{{Dead link|date=July 2019 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }} - 25 May 2007, IndiaFM News Bureau</ref><br />

{{Quotation|[[Maya Dolas]] was just reckless and foul mouthed. Buwa was cold blooded. Unlike Dolas, nothing could divert Buwa's attention when his fingers were on the trigger. He was a mentor to [[Chhota Rajan]]. Post shootout media coverage made out Dolas to be the big gun. “It was far from the truth. Dolas just kept hurling abuses from inside the building, while there being pumped by Buwa. I knew nothing about Dolas, except his reputation. Buwa was something else. He was [[Dawood Ibrahim]]’s best shooter and his most efficient killer. Till date, there has been no second.” <br />

Buwa was the bodyguard of Ramabhai Naik, another <br />
famous gangster in central [[Mumbai|Bombay]]. He was paid off by [[Chhota Rajan]], a former associate of Ibrahim. While visiting [[Chembur]], Buwa turned and shot Naik dead. He then switched sides to the D-gang. Conversely, [[Maya Dolas]] was a member of a gang led by [[Arun Gawli]]. In an agreement between Amar Naik and Arun Gawli, they agreed to settle their disputes, but in return Amar wanted Dolas dead. When Dolas found out, he escaped and joined with Buwa and the D-company.<br />
