Madhuri:
The leaves of your tree remind me of something we saw this summer here
at eflora...
Most likely a singapore cherry...
a misnomer, since its native to central america like countries of
Panama or even mexico...
cant remember...
botanical name :*Muntingia calabura
Arijit Banerji showed it flowers in June this year from Kolkata:

Wikipedia has many pics by our own gargji:

Grows all over India in disturbed lands and sometimes becomes big
trunked tree...
I have only seen thin young trunks...
Lets see what the experts say...
