This is definitely not a Barlaria. It belongs to the family Euphorbiaceae. 

Looks like a species of Croton to me.

Thanks a lot Giby ji. You guided me in correct direction. I searched the net and at the moment it looks close to Euphorbia dentata. but 3 sided seed pod on my plant is at leaf node. I am still searching.

A reply:

"The photographs are bad.  However, they look like Baliospermum solanifolium." from Tapas ji.

[shetur]

Yes, I too believe now it is Baliospermum solanifolium.
The story fits too. I had bought it from Jijamata Udyan nursery. When I went back and told them it is not barleria. They told me that somebody had sold them by the name of Vajradanti. I think the seller must have told them it is Danti (Marathi name for Baliospermum solanifolium) and they confused it with Vajradanti!

thank you Gargji For forwarding the post and Tapas ji for id. Yes I surely apologize for bad quality images, I am not able to manage better than this with my phone camera at the moment.
