I agree with …, this seems like Syzygium grande (syn: S. tamilnadensis). It is common in shola forests in the region. The quadrangular stem also seems visible. The individual here /species/m—z/m/myrtaceae/syzygium/syzygium-grande does not seem consistent with the species description. Note the fruit size.
