In the Malad area of Mumbai, a man found a human finger inside an ice cream cone he had ordered online. He promptly reported the incident to the Malad police station. Subsequently, the police registered a case against the Yummo ice cream company and sent the ice cream for investigation.
The human organ found in the ice cream has been sent to the Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL) for further examination, said Malad Police.
The complainant in the case, a 26-year-old doctor with MBBS degree who stays in Malad west, had ordered a butterscotch ice-cream cone of Yummo company. While consuming the ice-cream after lunch, he came across a half an inch long piece of flesh with a nail in the ice cream.
A man pursuing his post-graduate studies filed a complaint with an ice cream company via its Instagram page, stating that he found a piece of flesh in the product. According to officials, despite no response from the company, the complainant placed the flesh in an ice bag and reported the incident to the Malad police station.
A senior police official said the finger piece will be sent to the forensic laboratory. The place where the ice cream is manufactured and packed will also be searched. "We have taken it up seriously," he added.
