A plane passenger was left terrified after his seat started rocking mid-flight.
Daksh Sethi says he panicked and it was like having a mini heart attack.
The entire row of seats lifted up and all three passengers had to be moved.

Daksh said the seats went “back with a jerk”, adding that it was “not a good feeling at all”.
The entrepreneur said: “It was like a feeling of free falling from a flying aircraft that is just taking off.
“The seats could literally swing back and forth.”
Daksh grabbed the seat in front of him after realising the entire row had apparently come loose from the floor.
Flight attendants inspected the faulty seats.

Daksh encountered the issue while travelling from Delhi to Lucknow in India on an IndiGo flight, as reported by What’s The Jam.
The businessman added: “This was like a mini heart attack.
“I would not want anybody flying inside of an aircraft to feel this kind of a feeling, because I’ve never experienced this, not even in the worst turbulence.”

He claimed: “And then we realised the seats were loose, they were literally moving on a single nut.”
“The crew politely shifted us to the back, there was no problem at all after that.
“They called for the maintenance people to look into it during de-boarding.”
However, he expressed concerns about an elderly person suffering a similar situation on a flight.
He stated: “It may not look like a serious deal, but I would not want an elderly person with a medical issue sitting on such a seat in a flying aircraft.
“I would not want anyone to be sitting in an aircraft that is so poorly maintained.
“This has to be looked into for sure.”
Daksh said the airline contacted him and said it will be investigated.
IndiGo has been approached for comment.
