Thanks bayucca for the ID and all the effort. Checked your refs. and agree very much.

Lygaeidae, probably a Spilostethus sp., assuming, the ID of the link is correct. This one looks almost or identical to Spilostethus pandurus, which is, however, an European species and probably not found in India? Spilosthetus hospes is found in India but looks different, meaning without this white spot. Please, verify! http://www.flickr.com/photos/49869335@N04/8003636309/
