The internet has been buzzing for the past few days after a Private MMS Leak allegedly involving West Bengal digital creator Sofik SK and his close friend Sonali, popularly known as Doostu Sonali, spread across social media. The clip, said to be more than 15 minutes long, was shared without their knowledge, leading to a wave of shock, criticism, and concern online.
The creators, who are widely followed for their work on Palli Gram TV, were forced to respond after the video went viral across multiple platforms.
“The video was leaked without our consent,” says the couple
Both Sofik and Sonali released statements explaining that the video was stolen from them and put online without permission.
Sonali, visibly shaken, shared an emotional message on social media, saying the leak left her battling severe mental distress.
She revealed that someone close to her took the video and released it online, accusing a man named Rubel of blackmailing her.
“After the video surfaced, I couldn’t think straight. I felt like ending everything,” she said, breaking down in the video.
“This was a private moment. Someone misused our trust.”
Her words sparked an outpouring of sympathy, with many users urging others not to circulate the clip further.
Sofik apologises to fans, says the video is old
Soon after, Sofik addressed his followers with a short note.
He confirmed that the video is real but more than a year old and meant strictly for personal use.
“This was never supposed to be seen by anyone. Some people are trying to ruin my name,” he said.
“I’m sorry that my viewers had to see something like this. I want to focus on my work now.”
His apology seemed to be directed at long-time supporters who have been confused and disappointed since the controversy began.
Online debate widens: privacy, blame, and cybercrime
The leak has triggered a broader conversation about privacy and online harassment.
Many social media users have pointed out that leaking someone’s intimate video is not just unethical—it is a crime. Calls for strict action against the alleged blackmailers have intensified.
Cyber experts say such acts fall under serious offenses, including privacy violation, blackmail, and circulation of explicit content without consent.
