Well we have a few things here

1. Throw a beanbag at first touching is good.

2. If you say the ball was batted forward at the first touching then you can throw a flag instead of the bag. (Probably one of those things you need to see but will go with your description of BATTING)

3. The ball is not dead yet and the kick has not ended yet.

4. R may advance the ball at his own risk.

5. Runner stops and now the whistle blow IW now you have a big mess.

With IW team R will have the choices here since they are in last possesion of the ball when the whistle was blown.

Their options are

1. Take the result of the play which would be take the ball where the whistle was blown.

2. If they take the penalty for the illegal batting then the acceptance of the penalty would make the IW obsolete (like it never happened)

3. Accepting the penalty for illegal batting which is 15 yards. In this case it is during a loose ball play by K, 15yards from the previous spot and replay fourth down.

That is how this play is going through my mind without a book in front of me right now.
