Thank you Saroj ji for suggesting the possibility of Anisomeria genus.
It has three species: Anisomeria bistrata, Anisomeria coriacea, and Anisomeria littoralis.
Most probably not Anisomeria - the leaves do not seem to match.
Let us wait for comments.
Regards.

Many thanks Garg ji and Gurcharan ji, for resurfacing this query.
It could be other than Phytolaccaceae ... I had got the hint of family in facebook.
Will wait for ID of this ornamental to get resolved.
Regards.

Thank you very very much Saroj ji for leading me to this webpage. 
Indeed, the featured plant is what I have posted for ID.
Let us call Sam ji and check whether he can help us with the scientific name of the plant from his resources.

Dear Sam ji,
Here are 2 YouTube links that show my posted plant. 
Though the plant is labelled "kothukuviratty" OR "kothuku viratty", I am not able to hear / find the scientific name of the plant. Maybe you will be able to help.
Regards.

Dear Dinesh ji,
Both terms are correct, one is splitted and other is not splitted. It is simply means mosquito repellent or repellent of mosquito. കൊതുക് വിരട്ടി kothuku viratti,  കൊതുകുവിരട്ടി kothukuviratti,  here kothuku means mosquito and viratti means make fear.
Regards,
Sam Kuzhalanattu.

Many many thanks Sam ji for the clarification and meaning of the name.
I am more interested in knowing the scientific name of  കൊതുകുവിരട്ടി kothukuviratti.
Please check if you can find it out, otherwise ignore.

Regards.

Yes, Saroj ji, I can understand. Other than these couple of YouTube posts in Malayalam and the one of the garden website that you pointed out, there is nothing on the internet as of now about the posted plant.

Hopefully we will get to know in some time soon just as you got to the site through your efforts.

Regards.

I think fruit is giving a clue, it may be from Rutaceae as per
https://www.inaturalist.org/taxa/702875-Melicope-semecarpifolia/browse_photos
Leaves are also trifoliate.
