A 10-year-old tiger named Pujari was found dead in Madhya Pradesh's Bandhavgarh Tiger Reserve, likely due to a territorial fight with another tiger. Officials discovered the carcass in the Dhamdhama area after hearing sounds of a fight. The body showed injury marks but intact vital organs. Authorities are conducting a post-mortem and intensified monitoring, noting that rising tiger populations and limited space have increased such conflicts in the reserve.
