Yes, it is *Abutilon indicum*. I think the lonely plant had lot of disturbances in the field and been 'forced' to grow like a creeper, and finally gone. It was NOT Sida for several reasons including for the mericarps which are not 1-seeded, nor 2-beaked and the beaks not pointing towards the center of fruit.
