A Royal Bengal tiger being spotted in Paonta Sahib in Himachal Pradesh has alerted forest authorities in the state and Uttarakhand, with officials not ruling out the possibility of the big cat being the one that went missing from the Rajaji National Park nearly a year ago.

The tiger's movement was captured by a trap camera installed on a tree in the Khara block of the Paonta Sahib forest range on Monday, forest officials said on Thursday.
