Dear Dr. Gurcharan Singh Ji, There is a lot of similarity between the pictures uploaded by me and that is uploaded by Vijayshankar Ji. To me it looks like Solanum viarum. It can not be Solanum capsicoides because, the ripe fruit of Solanum capsicoide turns slightly yellow before turning red. Whereas the fruits in the pictures uploaded by Vijayshankar ji is purely yellow. Moreover my picture of Solanum capsicoides has more densely covered spines. This though is the opinion of a lay person. Regards Yazdy.
