What FACTLY found
The video is unrelated to West Bengal or any MLA from the state. It actually shows a 2018 incident from Meerut, Uttar Pradesh, where BJP corporator Manish Chaudhary was arrested for assaulting a police officer at a restaurant. No MLA named Mansoor Mohammad Dimir is elected to the current West Bengal Assembly.
