How Man Discovers Human Finger In His Ice Cream

 In the latest development concerning the discovery of a human finger in a Mumbai man’s online-ordered ice cream cone, authorities suspect that the flesh may belong to an individual employed at a factory in Pune. 

The Mumbai-based man was horrified to uncover a piece of flesh, resembling a severed human thumb, in the frozen treat he received on Wednesday afternoon. According to Mumbai Police, a man was reported injured at a Pune factory, with his injuries closely resembling those of the thumb found in the ice cream. Police have conducted DNA and medical examinations on the injured individual.

The complainant, Brendon Ferrao (26), is a medical doctor holding an MBBS degree and resides in the Malad area of the metropolis. “In his complaint, he said that he ordered a butterscotch ice cream cone from Yummo Company through an e-Commerce app. While consuming the ice cream after lunch, he found a piece of flesh with a nail in it,” a police official said. 

The individual, who is currently pursuing post-graduate studies, proceeded to address the issue with the ice cream company by lodging a complaint on its Instagram page. However, as the firm did not provide a satisfactory response, the complainant placed the piece of flesh in an ice bag and approached the Malad police station to file a complaint. Based on his grievance, the police registered a case against officials of the Yummo ice cream company under Indian Penal Code (IPC) sections 272 (adulteration of food or drink intended for sale), 273 (sale of noxious food and drink), and 336 (act endangering life or personal safety of others). “The piece of flesh, suspected to be a piece of human finger, has been sent for forensic examination to ascertain whether it is a part of the human body,” the official said. 

Speaking to media persons about the incident, complainant Ferrao said that while eating the ice cream, he found a big piece in his mouth and initially thought it to be a nut.
