Affirmative Arjun. It is the Elephant Apple tree [Dillenia indica]. Native to N-E India, it must have been planted here.

With regards,

Dear Arjun, the pic is too big yet out of focus. If you can load a
close up of a few leafs and also give the size, the ID can be
accurate. I guess this to be D. pentagyna, a native to the area given
by you. Regards, Shrikant
