You cannot marry a second time with any girl unless you have given divorce to the first wife who was hindu . Just bcz you converted to Islam won't have any impact on your first marriage. you will be prosecuted for bigamy if you go ahead

So seek a detailed legal Consultation from an Advocate. Get the Marriage documents and your conversion documents duly verified and perused from an Advocate and seek his considered opinion before proceeding further

Under Indian law, marrying a second time without legally dissolving your first marriage constitutes bigamy, which is a punishable offense under Section 494 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC). This holds true even if you have converted to Islam, a religion that permits polygamy. Therefore, to lawfully marry a Hindu woman after your conversion to Islam, you must first obtain a legal divorce from your first wife under the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955. Proceeding with a second marriage without securing a divorce would be illegal and could lead to criminal prosecution for bigamy.
