Thanks … I too strongly think it to be Corchorus fascicularis. The fruits seem sufficiently distinctive.
I hope too, you’re right …
Thanks, … for id. Species with description & keys in Flora of Pakistan and illustrations herein, also lead me to this species.

Corchorus sp may be Corchorus olitorius Pls give sizes of fruits and leaves so that sp of Corchorus can be IDd. Please follow the plant for pictures of flowers, this seems C. tridens.
This also appears to be Corchorus fascicularis as per FOP illustration and keys in Flora of Pakistan
