Hi! How is the rest of the plant looking? Can you provide some more pictures? Can you see any spots or black areas on the leaves? My first guess would be Tomato Late Blight .

Thank you for the response sir.. I also guessed the same..however unlike late blight there are no black patches in the leaves and fruits..i guessed this as alternaria stem canker..if i am correct..

But also alternaria stem canker should show symptoms on the leaves after sometime. How many plants are infected?
