Project Cheetah is India's cheetah relocation program aimed at establishing a self-sustaining population of about 35 cheetahs over the next decade.
Veterinarians examining the cheetah’s dead body found a wound on its neck infected with maggots, and larvae were also discovered on the radio-collar attached to the cheetah's neck.
It is suspected that the chafing caused by the collar may have indirectly contributed to the cheetah's illness.
The collars worn by cheetahs are made from polystyrene and have a radio-frequency tracking chip for monitoring purposes.
