Since the picture named Thattekkad, it is from my native. My house
very much at Thattekkad.
I am doubtful this as Melastoma because the stamens are not clear and
I couldn't see 5+5 stamens (5 longer, as long as the petals and 5
smaller).
Please provide if you have a close up of the flower.

Giby

This would most probably be an Osbeckia sp. For sure, it is not Melastoma malabathricum.

I agree with Dr Santhosh that this as Osbeckia. I am not known to the species hence this is a new species to me.
