Tabernaemontana alternifolia?
There is another species in Karnataka, viz. T. gamblei which has caudate-acuminate leaves and long-beaked apex of fruits.
is this is wild or planted?
efi page on Tabernaemontana alternifolia 
Tabernaemontana species in eFloraofindia (with details/ keys from published papers/ regional floras/ FRLHT/ FOI/ Biotik/ efloras/ books etc., where ever available)
I have seen the shrub in wild condition in Goa and Andamans (where we were calling it T. crispa).
The status of Tabernaemontana gamblei needs a closer inspection.

Thank you so much … One more threatened species...
World Conservation Monitoring Centre 1998. Tabernaemontana heyneana. 2006 IUCN Red List of Threatened Species.
This is called Nagkuda in Marathi and used in Ayurveda..
Wander why someone named it 'T. alternifolia' besides opposite diccussate phyllotaxy.

Need to check the flowers before final ID.

yes flowers and may even the fruits, agree with …

Thanks ...,
      Do not have fruit or flowers photo with me. The tree seems young age and not matured as per girth of trunk.
Off course I was too far from this tree so could not see fallen fruits etc.
Searched on web about various Tabernaemontana species in India, and following is analysis.
As per photos attached, the bark of the tree is yellowish.
-------------
As per https://sites.google.com/site/efloraofindia/species/a---l/a/apocynaceae/tabernaemontana
Tabernaemontana cerifera: - Shrub
Tabernaemontana dichotoma: - Leaf apex is acute
Tabernaemontana divaricata: - Shrub or very small tree.
The tree in attached photo is not matching with  Tabernaemontana cerifera,  Tabernaemontana dichotoma,  Tabernaemontana divaricata.
------------
Tabernaemontana gamblei:
As per
http://flora-peninsula-indica.ces.iisc.ac.in/herbsheet.php?id=846&cat=7
Range: S India
Habit: Shrub.
The tree in attached photo is not matching with  Tabernaemontana gamblei .

Tabernaemontana pauciflora:
As per
http://tropical.theferns.info/viewtropical.php?id=Tabernaemontana+pauciflora
Range: Southeast Asia - Myanmar, Thailand, Malaysia, Indo-China, Indonesia.
As per

The tree in attached photo is not matching with Tabernaemontana pauciflora due to bark color of the tree in attached photo is more yellowish than gray and the tree in the attached photos was not growing near stream at Matheran, @ Dec 2018. Even did not get any evidence of Tabernaemontana pauciflora growing in Maharashtra state of India.
---------------

Please do discuss more, may be above analysis is not complete or correct..

Flora of Andaman28 Tabernaemontana Sp. -090111-PKA2: 3 posts by 3 authors. Attachments (6)
This is a large shrub around 2 to 3 m looking similar to typical Tagar. Flowers were fragrant with pleasant and soothing smell. I had seen this in wild near a beach close to Port Blair (Andaman & Nicobar). Looks like some Tabernaemontana sp.

this may be Tabernaemontana cerifera Panch. & Sebert and might be introduced one
Yes Tabernaemontana cerifera

Looks different from Tabernaemontana cerifera as per Plants From Australia 2018:: Tabernaemontana cerifera-NS April 2020-38 and references at Tabernaemontana cerifera
Tabernaemontana rostrata Wall. ??

Thanking you for your valuable email for confirmation of the species. It seems all are Tabernaemontana crispa APOCYNAceae
There is only T. alternifolia occurring on these islands.
T. crispa is a synonym of T. alternifolia.
Thanks, ... Did not check earlier.
