Here is reply from Neil ji:

"Incidentally Dr.Rajendra Shinde's red-flower variety is possibly L.coccinea [if it was cultivated] or L.setuligera [if it was found in the wild].
             Regards,
              Neil."

Here is a link to pictures of L.coccinea: http://aoki2.si.gunma-u.ac.jp/BotanicalGarden/HTMLs/Leea-coccinea.html & for details:http://hort.ifas.ufl.edu/shrubs/LEECOCA.PDF

Here is a very good link to differentiate between various species of Leea, we are discussing: http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=2&taxon_id=117843

It is Leea coccinea Rubra.
