A two-month old tiger cub was found dead in Kanha Tiger Reserve (KTR) in the district, an official said today.
A tourist alerted the forest authorities that he had spotted the dead cub in Gay Dhar beat area yesterday, KTR veterinarian Dr Sandeep Agrawal said.
"A search was launched to locate the dead cub and the carcass was found after some time yesterday," he added.
An investigation has been launched to find the reason behind the cub's death, Agrawal said.
The carcass was disposed of after the post-mortem was conducted as per the guidelines of the National Tiger Conservation Authority (NTCA), he added.
