Inequality

“ A day laborer, Mohammad Salim Khan, who lived close to Delhi, India, was looking for a day's wages when he agreed to go to a house under the premise that he'd be paid $4 a day for construction work. He was then held at gunpoint for several days, along with two other deceived day laborers.

were informed that their kidneys had been

removed.“Source: ABC News
