A shocking incident of a human finger being found in an ice cream has been reported from Mumbai. Orlem Brandon Serrao, a doctor residing in the suburbs of Malad, had ordered the cone ice cream online from Yummo Ice Creams, but was left traumatized when he noticed the unusual element inside.
In a photo shared online, a human finger could be seen sticking out of the cone ice cream.
Dr Serrao, sharing his harrowing experience, said he first thought it was a nut, but luckily did not swallow it.
"I had ordered three cone ice creams from an app yesterday. One of them was a butterscotch ice cream of Yummo brand. After eating half of it, I felt a solid piece in my mouth. I thought it could be a nut or a chocolate piece, but still spat it out to check what it was," said Dr Serrao in a video statement.
A careful examination of the "solid piece" left him in shock.
"I am a doctor so I know how body parts look like. When I carefully examined it, I noticed the nails and fingerprint impressions under it. It resembled a thumb. I am traumatized," he said.
Dr Serrao immediately put it in an ice pack so he could show it to the police and filed a complaint with the Malad police.
A case has now been registered against the Yummo brand for food adulteration and endangering human life. The cops have also sent the ice cream for investigation and the finger for forensic analysis.
The presence of a body part in the food item has also raised suspicion of a conspiracy and further probe is on, the police said.
