“He is a very intelligent tiger and after the January incident, he has stayed well away from humans, quietly feeding and growing in the area,” Annigeri said.
He moved from Nagda hills to Manglia in Indore and then to Badnagar in Ujjain to Javasia village Badnawar in Dhar, across Sardarpur and into Petlawad in Jhabua. Officials said all these places have human habitation but he has managed to avoid any contact with humans.
“He has been travelling in a straight line along the banks on the Mahi river,” Annigeri said.

That tiger wasn't from Kanha. It was recorded moving through Madhya Pradesh’s Indore, Dewas, Ujjain, Dhar and Jhabua districts.

It could only have been from Ratapani Wildlife Sanctuary (proposed to be a tiger reserve, but nothing happened). The forest had reached its carrying capacity long ago & he just started moving west through the forests on Vindhya Range. Nobody knows where he finally ended up. 
However, no news of any tiger dying had been noted in the region.

As the forests toward the northwest are too sparsed & scrubby, the tiger that was recently seen in Dangs forest of Gujarat could very likely be him. Reply
