New Delhi<\/em>\u00a0\u2014 Police in India have launched an investigation after a doctor claimed he found part of a human finger in an ice cream cone he ordered online.<\/p>\n

Dr. Orlem Brendan Serrao, who lives in Mumbai, said he found the partial digit in a Yummo Ice Creams cone ordered by his sister via a grocery delivery app.<\/p>\n

Serrao said in a\u00a0post shared widely on social media<\/a>\u00a0that when he dug into his dessert, he felt something unusual in his mouth and spat out what appeared to be a portion of a human finger about an inch long. He shared a video that he said showed the alleged body part sticking out of his melting cone.<\/p>\n

A screengrab from a video posted online by Dr. Orlem Brendan Serrao, a resident of Mumbai, India, shows what he said was a partial human finger discovered in an ice cream cone he purchased via a grocery delivery app. CBS News cannot independently verify Serrao’s claim, into which the Mumbai Police have launched an investigation.<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

“I had ordered three ice creams cones 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,” Serrao said in his post.<\/p>\n

The doctor and his sister reported the incident to the police, who have filed a case and sent the apparent partial finger for forensic examination. The Mumbai Police force said it was taking the incident seriously and would investigate it thoroughly, noting that a partially severed finger being discovered in such a way could be connected to a crime.<\/p>\n

Walko Food Co Ltd., which owns the Yummo Ice Creams brand, acknowledged receiving a complaint from a customer on Wednesday about the purported finger in its cone and said it had escalated the matter, according to India’s national NDTV television network.<\/p>\n

“We have stopped manufacturing at this third-party facility, isolated the said product at the facility and our warehouses, and are in the process of doing the same at the market level,” NDTV quoted a company spokesperson as saying.<\/p>\n

The ice cream maker also said it would cooperate with the police investigation into the case.<\/p>\n
