Dear Dinesh ji and Devendra ji I thought the plant photographed by Devendra ji appeared to be shrubby, and fruits larger and black- hence my guess about reticulatus.
P. niruri Linn, P. amarus and P. fraternus are three distinct species, but Indian specimens don't belong to P. niruri rather P. fraternus. P. niruri thus is not synonym of P. amarus (not P. niruri Linn or P. niruri Hook.f.). P. fraternus has larger leaves and 6 perianth, male and female fls in different axils (male in lower axils, female in our axils), and 6-10 lobed disc. P. amarus has smaller leaves (yours are larger than mine P. fraternus hence the doubt), perianth 5 and 5-lobed disc.
