From the leaves it looks like this could be "Garlic mustard" , Alliaria petiolata. the crushed leaves give off a distinct garlic smell. This plant is a highly invasive weed in NE Usa; and one can also find reports of this invasive in E ghats, Himalayan foothills
I am very familiar with Alliaria petiolata as it grows all around my house. And photos I have seen here don't look like it in any way.
the basal leaves are reminiscent of garlic mustard as it emerges for the first year, but the flowering stalk branching is not typical of garlic mustard, at least that's how I remember ...
may be ... you have the leaves on the flowering stalk? ie the second year growth ? They tend to be of different shapes... and size...
The basal leaves in photos would be from another plant specimen not the one that threw up the flowering stalk if this is the garlic mustard weed, the weed that we recognize in NY or CT...
most likely this is something different...
only a full set or herbarium sheets and a trained taxonomist needs to look at it/examine it to arrive at a decision
