Last year, in a similar kind of incident, a severed human finger was found inside an ice-cream cone ordered by a man in Mumbai that prompted the police and other agencies to launch a probe.
Dr Brenden Ferrao, who is a resident in the Malad suburbs, asked his sister to order ice-cream online. While he was eating the butterscotch ice cream, he found a finger in it. Ferrao said that since he is a doctor, he knows the human body parts well and figured out that the piece of flesh that he found was of a thumb.
The man put forward his complaint with the ice cream company, Yummo, through Instagram. But when he did not get a proper response from the company, he put the piece of flesh in an ice bag and took it to Malad police station.
While the police launched investigations, the samples of the finger and the ice-cream were sent to the Forensic Science Laboratory. The Food and Drugs Administration too stepped in.
It was later found that the finger tip was that of an employee of an ice cream factory in Indapur in Pune as per DNA tests conducted during the probe.
