The second wife can complain u/s 420 for cheating and further be prosecuted for bigamy. Consult a good criminal lawyer in your area.

You may go for 417,493,494,496,499 IPC and also if you can prove any domestic violence, then you can also set in motion the DV Act.
apart from the same if the facts substantiate otherwise and the divorce decree was in dispute at the time of your marriage with him, you may also be entitled for other reliefs under the hindu person laws. please refer this judgment of the Delhi HC for enlightenment.
