No you cannot marry the other girl by changing your religion. The doctrine of indissolubility of marriage, under the traditional Hindu law, did not recognise that conversion would have the effect of dissolving a Hindu marriage. Conversion to another religion by one or both the Hindu spouses did not dissolve the marriage. If you do so you can be charged under section 494 of the Indian Penal Code for Bigamy.
