- Orlem Brandon Serrao made the gruesome discovery on Thursday
- He put his finger on the ice and reported the incident to the police
This is the moment a ‘traumatized’ doctor claims he found a human finger in his ice cream in India.
Orlem Brandon Serrao’s sister ordered three Yummo ice cream cones and had the desserts delivered to her brother’s house in Malad, Mumbai on June 13.
He tucked into one of the frozen treats to cool off from the heat wave, but was stunned when he felt a solid object on his tongue.
Fortunately, he did not swallow the object. He spit it out and was shocked to see what appeared to be a severed human finger embedded in his food.
Gruesome footage shows the chunk of meat sticking out of the yellow mound of butterscotch-flavored ice cream.

Serrao said he carefully examined the object and decided it was a finger after realizing he could clearly see a fingernail and a fingerprint print.
“After I ate half of the ice cream, I felt a solid piece in my mouth,” said a shocked Orlem, recalling his shocked discovery. ‘I thought it could be a nut or a piece of chocolate, but I spit it out to see what it was.
“I’m a doctor, so I know what body parts look like.”
Serrao said he carefully examined the object and decided it was a finger after realizing he could clearly see a fingernail and a fingerprint print.
‘When I looked at it carefully, I saw the nails and fingerprints underneath. It looked like a thumb. “I am traumatized,” he said.
He sealed the finger in an ice pack and handed it over to police while he filed a complaint. More gruesome images showed the finger in a plastic bag.
Whatever cut off the fingers appears to have gone through the nail at an angle, cutting off about 1/2 to 1/2 inch of the fingertip.
A senior police official was quoted by PTI News as saying, “The piece of meat, suspected to be a piece of human finger, has been sent for forensic examination to determine whether it is part of the human body.”
A case has been filed against the Yummo brand for “food adulteration and endangering human life,” the report said.
