Popular Bengali YouTuber and Instagram influencer Sofik SK (Palli Gram TV fame) and his girlfriend, fashion-dance creator Dustu Sonali, have become the latest victims of a brutal revenge porn leak. A 15–19-minute private video recorded more than a year ago was deliberately leaked by an alleged ex-friend and collaborator named Rubel after the couple refused to pay blackmail money. Dustu Sonali has now filed an official police complaint and gone live multiple times, declaring, “I will not spare him – justice will be served.” Here is the complete timeline, evidence, police action, and real-time updates.
Between November 20–22, 2025, multiple explicit clips totaling 15 to 19 minutes surfaced on Telegram, X (Twitter), Instagram Reels, and several adult websites. The video clearly shows Sofik SK and Dustu Sonali in intimate moments inside what appears to be a hotel room. The footage is shot from Sonali’s phone (self-recorded for personal memories) and contains unmistakable audio of both their voices and faces. Within 48 hours, the hashtags #SofikSKViralVideo, #DustuSonaliMMS, and #SofikSonaliLeak trended across Bengal and Bangladesh, amassing over 50 million impressions.

Full Story & Background
Sofik SK (real name Sofikul Islam) and Dustu Sonali (real name Sonali Mondal) started dating in late 2023 and frequently appeared together in Palli Gram TV village comedy skits and dance Reels. The now-infamous video was recorded in early 2024 “just between us as a couple,” Sonali revealed in her emotional Instagram Live on November 25.
The accused, Rubel (full name Rubel Hossain), was a former cameraman and close friend of the couple who had access to both their phones and Google Drive during joint shoots. After Sofik and Sonali distanced themselves from Rubel in mid-2025 over “professional disagreements and repeated money demands,” Rubel allegedly kept backups of private files.
In October 2025, he began blackmailing the couple:
- Demanded ₹5–7 lakh to “delete everything forever”
- Threatened to “destroy their careers and families”
- Sent snippets of the video when payments were refused
On November 20, after the couple blocked him everywhere, Rubel executed the leak.
