I think it appears more close to images of Anacolosa densiflora as suggested by Santhosh ji as per 
GBIF specimens (one, two), POWO specimen, Illustration

See references for Strombosia ceylanica:
POWO   Catalogue of Life  GBIF  BSI Flora of India  Flora of peninsular India Flickr  India Biodiversity Portal  Biotik  Wikipedia  Wikimedia Commons  Useful Tropical Plants  iNaturalist  Asian Plant   

Thanks a lot, Santhosh ji and Robi ji

It would be ideal if Sam ji can follow up with some pictures of the mature fruit for further clarity.

Best wishes, Viplav
