Roy, likely is not a named species. The fruit skin color is similar to G. prainiana but the leaves are clearly different. Did you taste it?

I did not taste but I will taste it soon. My collector says it is not that sour that you can keep it in the mouth and slowly eat.It has a few drops of juice.
Thank you

It may be
Garcinia indica
, which is native to the Western Ghats. This information may help:

After a more thorough search have come up with
Garcinia kydia
as a possibility. Is native to north East India, Bangladesh and Myanmar. See:

It is not G. lancifolia as lancifolia leaves are not like the ones in your photos. I have lancifolia plants and hope to post photos of the fruits once I reach home.
