i found a similar looking toad from a paper published on some herpetofaunal survey of wildlife sanctuary sir.i thought it resembles D.scaber coz of stripes seen along the side of the toad as seen in your pic sir.

Do you have any links I could look at Gopal? I've googled the name and see a couple that could be it but need to know for sure. Where did you get the ID from?
