I believe that's jewelweed. But next time at least say the region that the plant is in. That can help.

I'm 200 kms north from the Bay of Bengal.

Then definitely not jewelweed! That's north american.

Too generic and immature ATM. Is there an older specimen around? Hopefully one with flowers or fruits or seeds?

Looks like thai basil but i'm a cook not a botanist. Like @Justas asked, is it fragrant when you rub it together?

How big are the leaves? Does it smell nice when you rub a leaf between your fingers?

I shall try out tomorrow.
