Thank you Mr Garg. I now doubt my guess as I had overlooked the fact that this plant had hairy upper stems and glandular calyx, clearly visible in this photo I am including here. My apologies to you and Mr Swamy for not editing and filing this photo for better analysis earlier.
It now looks closer to Sonchus brachyotus <https://sites.google.com/site/efloraofindia/species/a---l/ar/asteraceae/sonchus/sonchus-brachyotus>. Please advise. Thanks.
