I think there are different seeds for green , red & yellow varieties. I have bought them so from a seed store in the past & got the results also accordingly.

Move the container away from direct sun, if the plant stresses out it may or may not produce flowers nor fruit... fertilize with 20:20:20 NPK fertilizer, plucking out shimla mirch will not do any benefit to the plant as the temp's are rising you will notice diminished fruit quality so i will advice to let the plant complete its life journey and pluck the fruits when they are of considerable size and discard the plant in June.
Why discard the plant. How many years do they live?

Discard the plant because it is a short lived perennial it wont perform well the second year, and the plant if it is saved to give fruit for the second year will loose its vigor.

Regarding to uproot the plant. I will not uproot it because I can not go harsh on them and it is not of 1 year. It was planted in January.

Dear, the heat is too much and the flowers need some humidity for pollination to occur and fruit to develop, if you take care of your plant.. give it some shade and regular watering in summer the fruiting will resume in August in the monsoon season.
