In the case of a severed human finger found in an ice cream cone in Mumbai earlier this month, a DNA report on Thursday revealed that it belonged to Omkar Pote, an assistant operator manager working at Fortune Company, Pune.
On May 11, 2024, while packing ice cream, part of the middle finger of Omkar Pote’s right hand was cut. The manufacturing date on the ice cream cone is also the same day.
Following the revelation, Mumbai Police registered a case of negligence against Fortune Company.
On June 12, Malad resident, 26-year-old Orlem Brendan Serrao had eaten half of the butterscotch ice cream ordered online by his sister, when he sensed something wrong on his tongue. When he took a closer look, he found a human finger inside it.
He lodged a complaint with the ice cream company on its Instagram page, however, when there was no response from the firm, Serrao informed the police about the incident.
The police, in its initial probe, said that it was a human finger in the ice cream and sent it for forensic investigation.
“The complainant in the case, a 26-year-old doctor with MBBS degree who stays in Malad west, had ordered a butterscotch ice-cream cone of Yummo company. While consuming the ice-cream after lunch, he came across a half an inch long piece of flesh with a nail in the ice cream,” the police had said.
