Lighter flower colour and more importantly lack of ferruginous sepals creating doubts.

The Mysore thorn (Biancaea decapetala ) is a thorny shrub. But you have mentioned it as a tree. Which is correct . Is it a tree or shrub. Does it have spines or not. Please clarify.

It's not Phelophorum sp.

I agree with Biancaea decapetala.

Thanks a lot Radha ji, Radha ji and Paradesi ji for solving this mystery for me. Yes it is a shrub as I can make out from all images. Here is one thorny twig.
