Perhaps needs rechecking. The petals seem distinctly longer than sepals.

Gurcharan ji, Balkar ji, will wait for further comment(s) ... my photos of posted plant could prove insufficient for resolving the ID.
Regards.

Does agree with Stellaria graminea - petals are supposed to be equaling or longer than sepals

I think matches with Stellaria semivestita as per POWO specimen and GBIF specimen

Look different from Stellaria graminea as per POWO specimen one and two and GBIF specimens from India- one. 

Also suggested by Balkar ji earlier.

Still better option is Stellaria patens D. Don as per GBIF- specimens from Nepal– one, two, three, four.

However, sepals look shorter as per description in Flora of China.
