Dinesh ji, I tend to agree with Shrikant ji's id on account of leaf shape and the length of pedicel in male flowers. But a fruiting specimen would really help to confirm the id. As you know, fruiting calyx is enlarged in B. retusa whereas it is not enlarged in B. vitis-idaea.
Sorry for the delay in response.
