The forest authorities said it was killed by another big cat.
"I too have received information of the tiger's death. As I am out of Bandhavgarh, I am rushing back," BTR Field Director Mridul Pathak told PTI.
The striped carnivore was captured from Kathar village in the buffer zone of BTR after it entered a human habitat on November 21, Forest department officials said.
They said the tiger was killed by another big cat which stormed into the enclosure last night.
