A tiger cub was found dead in the Bandhavgarh Tiger Reserve (BTR) in Madhya Pradesh's Umaria district on Tuesday with forest officials suspecting territorial fight as the reason behind the feline's death.

The carcass of the cub, aged 3 to 4 months, was found near Jutta pond in BTR's Panpatha buffer area in the morning, forest range officer SS Shrivastava said. After receiving the information, senior officials reached the spot and inspected the area, he said.
