A doctor, Brendan Ferrao, was shocked to find a human finger inside ice cream he had ordered via a grocery delivery app on Wednesday. The Malad police are taking the help of Aadhaar centres to identify the person whose finger was found in the frozen dessert. They have also informed the Food and Drugs Administration to take appropriate action against the manufacturer, Yummo Ice Creams, and have registered an FIR in the matter.
Dr Ferrao, 26, a resident of Orlem, Malad West, who works in a Mumbai-based private hospital, told the police he had to undergo various tests as there was blood in the ice cream. According to the police, Dr Ferrao released a video on social media where he stated that on the day of the incident, he instructed his sister Jessica, 22, to order three mango ice creams at 9.54 am.
