"Thought It Was Nut, I'm Traumatised": Mumbai Man Finds Finger In Ice Cream

This one is not for the faint-hearted. Mumbai doctor Orlem Brandon Serrao ordered an ice cream online on Wednesday, and got an extra "topping" he hadn't bargained for - a human finger.

Dr Serrao, who lives in the suburbs of Malad, had asked his sister to include some ice cream while ordering groceries online. The craving, however, led to an unexpected experience. He was left traumatized when he felt something in his mouth that appeared to be a nut, but turned out to be a finger.

A photo shared online shows a human finger sticking out of the ice cream.

Mr Serrao shared his harrowing experience in a video statement and said he luckily did not swallow it.

"I had ordered three cone ice creams from an app. 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 and spat it out to check what it was," said Dr Serrao.

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 the object 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 Yummo for food adulteration and endangering human life.

The cops have 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 bigger crime, which the police are investigating.

Yummo Ice Creams, which was launched in 2012, was co-founded by Walko Food Co. Ltd.
