A leopard is suspected to have killed the cub, which was about two years old, said BTR's joint director Rishi Mishra.
"Our team was patrolling on elephant-back today to keep an eye on the movement of T-43 tigress in Dhamokhar Range when they spotted a leopard holding a tiger cub between its teeth. When the team started following the leopard, it ran away leaving the dead cub behind," Mishra said.
There were injuries on its neck and mouth. It is suspected that the leopard killed it, he added.
