Please check Trichosanthes khasiana Kundu !
Small yellow flowers without fimbriae does not suggest Trichosanthes, more like a wild form of Cucumis melo.
You can check with Herpetospermum pedunculosum sir.
Leaf pattern looks different !
Herpetospermum seems a better match, although leaves are more deeply lobed in our specimen.
I think it appears close to GBIF specimens (one, two and three) of Herpetospermum tonglense.

Please check Trichosanthes khasiana Kundu !
I do not think so as per specimens of Trichosanthes khasiana in GBIF (One and two).
I think it appears close to GBIF specimens (one, two and three) of Herpetospermum tonglense.
