Bollywood actor, Imran Khan filed a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) in the Bombay High Court on Wednesday wherein he questioned the state government's decision to increase the age for consumption of liquor from 21 to 25 years. In an effort to discourage youngsters from consuming liquor, Maharashtra government had in June increased the age limit for the consumption of liquor from 21 to 25. Imran called the act as an infringement on the freedom of the individuals, hence he decided to file a PIL questioning the decision.
