Look, I think you're absolutely right to feel aggrieved that you were not appropriately informed, given a mechanism of redress, etc.
But at this point, I would not put a lot of hope on your appeals to DGCA and other authorities. Chalk it up as a learning moment about Indian bureaucracy, and move on.
I really do not think there is any chance of your being able to get your drone and power bank back, or any compensation for them, or even an apology of any sort from IndiGo.
If you do, that would be very surprising, and you should definitely let us know how that unfolds.
Sorry this happened to you, but this is how the cookie crumbled.
