Thanks Prashant ji for this interesting species. I was searching for this species with my book collection. To my surprise this is not mentioned in FOH (Polunin) but is mentioned in Flora of Mah by BSI. Capsella genus is included in the group of plants with fruits not longish but otherwise i.e. suborbicular,ovoid or obcordate. I can see somewhat similar here in your photographs. It is considered as a weed of cultivation and is reported from Satara in Mah.Leaves also match with the given description.
