Finally after lot of research...
Talks with scientists... I have lead on the beetle that we saw in the garden... It wasn't easy even for experts.. this with reference to experts from India and abroad.... working in the field.. and after consulting with the bug experts from the forest department...

Batocera rufomaculata.

Over the head...?

Well here is the common name...
red-spotted longhorn beetle
Its actually a bark borer beetle, normally found on mango tree.... and we saw it on kapok tree...

Which some people think is a cotton tree...
