I don't know the name of the fruit in English and hence I'm attaching the figure if it.
I don't know the exact name of the vegetable. But I'm guessing the following names: sponge gourd, luffa cylindrica, luffa.
What is the exact name of the fruit?

I've now found them on sale in a posh supermarket in Skopje, Macedonia. This time labelled:
потекло скопско
пиперки везени
благи / кг
Which Google Translate massages into:
origin Skopje
peppers embroidered
mild / kg
So an answer is "пиперки везени" or "embroidered peppers", for at least one name used in at least one country. Here is a close-up photo giving a better look at the striations:
I think it is a fruit called Chambakka.
There are a few recipes for chambakka achaar, which means pickled chambakka.
But I would try this chambakka jelly recipe. It looks delicious!

Going by your guesses, I found the following names on Wikipedia (all for the same plant): sponge gourd, Egyptian cucumber, Vietnamese luffa, dishrag gourd, rag gourd, vegetable-sponge or smooth luffa. Its Latin names are Cucurbita luffa, Luffa cylindrica, Luffa aegyptica, Luffa aegyptiaca, Luffa pentandra, Momordica cylindrica. or Momordica luffa.
I am not completely sure if the plant in the photo is the plant on the Wikipedia page. However, the Wiki has a translations in many different languages, so perhaps you can look for one in a language in which you know the plant's name?
Edit: Given your updated tag of
Indian, I should point out there are Wikipedia pages for the vegetable I linked to in Hindi, Marathi and Tamil as well as 28 more languages.
