PUNE: The owner of the Indapur ice cream manufacturing company, which is reported to have supplied ice cream that supposedly contained part of a human finger, refuted claims made by the Mumbai police that it was a body part of an employee of the factory.
Manoj Tupe, the owner of Fortune Dairy, said, “As per the images going around, it looks like part of the finger was missing. The injury which Mumbai police are talking about is simply a bruise. The alleged part of the human finger does not belong to one of our employees who was injured.”
“We will bring him in front of the media in the next two days to clear the picture,” he said. Tupe said they have been in business with Walko QSR Company Pvt Ltd, which sells ice cream under the brand name Yummo, for 4-5 months.
On June 12, Dr Brendan Ferrao lodged a police complaint after a Yummo ice cream he had ordered through a delivery app contained a portion of a human finger. Police said the batch of ice cream concerned was manufactured a month ago at the Indapur unit.
