Please identify this wild shrubby tree growing in JNU campus. It is flowering now and forms small orange-red berries later.

Thanks,

It is surprising and good news too.
In Pune the hills surrounding the city have many shrubs of Ehretia aspera.
I hardly know 1or 2 trees of Ehretia laevis from Pune.
The flowers of both appear almost same; will post them in a separate thread.
