Dear Prashant and Tanay, this looks to me ... Mallotus nudiflorus (popular synonym: Trewia nudiflora) ... the tree must have caught on with some kind of infection.
Regards.

This is Mallotus polycarpus. Male flowers have red calyx here, whereas M. nudiflorus male flowers have greenish calyx.

Thanks Radha for resurfacing this post and validating the ID.

To me too, it is Mallotus polycarpus. Then during those times, most of the M. polycarpus IDs were mistaken for M. nudiflorus.
