the mechanics at Nawab Motors have tries almost 7-8 times and its not working out so will surely ask them abt Regional Managers' nos and all.
Actually it can be anything behind the second row that is not securely fastened - sound reflections can be confusing and the source hard to detect. The likely culprits can be loose cables in the sides or tailgate or even plastic parts. Just below the right jump seat there is a plastic panel (hiding an empty compartment don't know for what) which is notorious for coming loose and rattling when driving on uneven roads.

Also, if the second row seat back latch is not fixed completely, it goes taka-taka-taka-taka.

For knowing what is causing it, you should get someone to drive over a bad road (not difficult to find in India) - and you sit in the back (boot) to figure out where the sound is coming from by putting your ear close to the panels. At a pinch, softly touching the panel with your fingertips will also help locale the culprit.

Happy hunting, buddy.
