Sorry for the late reply Garg ji,

It was a wild plant, and a herb I assume. Unfortunately these are the only pics available.

Thanks,

Pranav

[J.M. Garg]

But these are low res. images. Pl. post the original high res. images to see more details.

[J.M. Garg]

It is also possible that it may an Apocynaceae member as per images at

I also agree with Garg ji's first and Mandru ji's opinions.  Leaves in the images seems to be simple, and base leaf blade slightly curved inwards.  Leaves of C. buchananii are leathery or flexible, and so as it is a climber, it's leaves are never been arranged in same parity even if it trailing on bare ground like leaves in the images.  The leaf arrangement in the images have very uniformity.  And C. buchananii sprouts always having a twining tendency, but the image shows a hard sprout.  Afterall, I am strongly suggests it as Memecylon.

There is a possibility for Eugenia species. Looking close to Eugenia rottleriana

Thanks, Santhan ji.

But leaves look different from Eugenia rottleriana as per 
https://indiabiodiversity.org/species/show/11588
https://indiaflora-ces.iisc.ac.in/FloraPeninsular/herbsheet.php?id=6271&cat=7
https://powo.science.kew.org/taxon/urn:lsid:ipni.org:names:595817-1
https://www.gbif.org/species/5416718

Leaves somewhat appears closer to
https://efloraofindia.com/efi/eugenia-uniflora/

But not sure about the genus itself.
