BSF could not shoot down the drone, twice entered and returned.

BSF Commandant Gangu himself had to come in order to launch a DEEEEEEEEP search.

If it was a Bengali drone they would've shot it dead and stolen a cow from across the border.

I wonder if it had Special coatings to make it bullet proof? 3 Gangus shooting at a hovering done but no harm to the drone.
