Photographing bats in flight is not only tough, but needs special equipment. The darkness and the speed with which the bats change direction will make it near impossible to use the viewfinder ;hence needs special equipments to capture them.
Recently been working on this subject with like minded friends, and able to capture some images.
A cameratrap images but with entirely different type of sensor and flash light.
There is no harm in taking flash pictures of bats flying at night, as long as it isn't in close proximity to their roost.

Beautiful flight pose captured of this elusive species. Good details under the wings. Is this inside a forest department guest house? Look forward to more from this study. Thanks for sharing.

@Mrudul , this is taken in an abandoned old Haveli in Rajasthan. No one cares to go since it is considered haunted :001_rolleyes::001_rolleyes::w00t:

Interesting effort. It is not easy to get the critical focus right. Look forward to more from this haunted haveli. :-)
