it is very difficult to say the cultivar name based on photo. Check the fruits contain seeds?

Fruits are full of seeds.

The flower of this species is cooked as vegetable in Bengal ( MOCHA GANTO ).

The flower ( MOCHA ) is sold in the market but the fruits are not very popular because of the seeds but fruits are sweet.
