Firstly, take your sister out of that person's home. File for a divorce on the grounds of cruelty u/s 13 of HMA. Second, file another case of domestic violence under the appropriate act along with criminal intimidation. The husband legally cannot marry another female without divorcing the first one. It is illegal in Hindu law and if he converts then it automatically becomes a ground for divorce. Try to get an F.I.R registered against that man in a local Police station against the threats so that you can furnish proof in the court of law.

Hi, it seems a peculiar situation and you are suggested to take cautious steps because any action against your brother in law will affect your sister and children also, Legally, you may file a complaint for bigamy etc.

File a case against the husband of your sister regarding the threats that he is giving, about his second marriage without giving divorce to your sister. File a case in the name of your sister and her kids asking maintenance for her husband for their daily survival. file a case of domestic violence agaisnt the husband if there has been any offence. Court cannot force anyone to stay with anyone but it will surely look out for the culprit and provide your sister and her kids means for survival.
