The incident

A human finger was found in a Yummo Ice Cream cone purchased in Malad, prompting an investigation by the Malad police. The investigation revealed that the accident occurred on May 11, the day the cone was manufactured. Omkar Pote, a 24-year-old assistant packing manager, severed his middle finger while working on the fruit feeder machine. The machine, which processes ingredients like cashews, almonds, and pistachios, malfunctioned when the lid of the ingredient container fell inside. In an attempt to retrieve it, Pote’s middle finger on his right hand was severed.
