Rajawat and his neighbour Vimal were walking their dogs in Krishna Bagh Colony at 11pm on Thursday when the two animals lunged at each other.
Vimal also threw a stone at Rajawat's dog, reported.
An argument then unfolded between the two men, after which Rajawat ran up to his first-floor home and fired at Vimal using a 12-bore shotgun, police claim.
A video of the horrific shooting appears to show Rajawat loading the shotgun and firing a warning shot in the air before aiming at the street below.
The shots are followed by screams from the street.
"Two pet dogs from our lane, including the one owned by Rajawat, started fighting with each other," neighbour Pallavi Borse told .
"During their fight, when they started entering Vimal's house, his brother Pramod chased Rajawat's dog away with a stick. Soon a heated argument broke out between the two parties over it."
Vimal, who ran a hair salon in the city, died on the spot along with his brother-in-law Rahul Verma.

Six people suffered bullet injuries and were rushed to hospital, with two of them being seriously injured.

Cops have since filed a case of murder against him.
