A woman was sentenced by elders to a public gang rape in her village in the West Bengal area to punish her for an affair. India’s Supreme Court is investigating. A signal room in London’s Underground gets flooded, with quick-drying cement. And an artist is painting and placing cut-outs of immigrant workers around LA. All that and more, in today’s Global Scan.

"Los Olvidados" is just one of many guerrilla-style art installations by Ramiro Gomez. The LA-based artist focuses his work on the country's often unnoticed immigrant laborers.
