In a shocking incident from Mumbai, a human finger was discovered inside an ice cream cone ordered online, causing great alarm. The incident involved Dr. Orlem Brandon Serrao, a resident of suburban Malad, who found the disturbing object after purchasing the treat from Yummo Ice Creams.
Dr. Serrao, a physician, shared his unsettling experience, explaining how he initially mistook the object for a nut. "I ordered three cone ice creams from an app yesterday. One of them was a butterscotch ice cream from Yummo. After eating half of it, I felt something hard in my mouth.
