Santosh ji I hope you meant Lycianthes laevis (Dunal) Bitter (syn: Solanum laeve Dunal). All characters match with this: flowers in fascicle, calyx teeth minute or absent, leaves entire, fruit small 5-6 mm, globose, Another plant had been described as S. scabrum subsp. laevis levit described as new subspecies in 2006 (I don't have description of this one). But the species is much similar to S. nigrum with 1-1.5 cm long peduncle and longer calyx lobes.
