New Delhi, Jan 15: In a low key affair, Sachin Pilot, son of late Congress leader Rajesh Pilot, married Sara Abdullah, daughter of former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Farooq Abdullah here today without anyone from the Abdullah family being present. Sachin and Sara, who had been seeing each other for over a year, entered into wedlock but the bride's family members kept away from the ceremony as they are said to be against the marriage.

It was not clear what were the rites followed at the marriage said to have taken place on the outskirts of the Capital. The newly-wed couple hosted a stream of "close friends and relatives" at the residence of Sachin's mother and MP Rama Pilot but an inquisitive media was kept away.

Farooq Abdullah is currently away in London with rest of his family while Omar Abdullah, president of opposition National Conference in Jammu and Kashmir, is hospitalised for suspected appendicitis.
