A mentally-challenged man and woman were forced to get married by locals in Odisha's Balasore so that they could make fun of them and shoot a TikTok video of the two.

Some locals in Bahanagar Block of Balasore district forcibly married off a mentally-challenged and disabled man to a mentally-challenged woman of the same locality.

While the two are residents of the same locality, they never knew each other and were made to exchange garlands and roam around the colony.

After getting them married the two of them were made to roam with garlands around their necks and the miscreants even made videos of the two and uploaded it on TikTok.

In the video the two seem to have no clue about what was being done to them and they kept smiling at the camera while enjoying the cheers.

While the man works at a sweet stall in Gopal Bazar of Bahanaga Block, the woman is usually seen roaming around in the streets.

Balasore SP Jugal Kishore Banoth told India Today TV, "Since no complaint has been lodged, we are not aware of any such incident."
