In a bizarre incident, a human finger was found inside an ice cream cone ordered online in Mumbai, police said.

“A woman found a piece of a human finger inside an ice cream cone that was ordered online in the Malad area of Mumbai. After which the woman reached Malad police station,” ANI quoted police as saying.
"We have the piece of flesh for forensic tests to establish if it is part of a human finger or flesh of some other creature. We have filed an FIR in the matter," Malad Police told CNBCTV18.
