This is the second incident in two months when a female cub has been found dead in Kanha.
"The cub was found dead yesterday at Kanherie beat in the reserve after sustaining injuries in a fight with a tiger.
Its post-mortem report too reveals this," Kanha Deputy Director A K Nagar told PTI.
A tiger was noticed around the cub in the morning hours and it might have killed the feline, which was disposed off after an autopsy was carried out in accordance with the guidelines of the National Tiger Conservation Authority (NCTA), he added.
Nagar said it was not an unusual incident and such fights were common.
