Are second level cousins considered Sapindas in India's Hindu Marriage Act?

Please refer the following screenshot in which the highlighted SINDHUJA [Y] (Red in color) and RAJ [M1] (White in color) may legally marry each other, but the SANTHOS [M2] (Blue in color) is considered Sapindas in India's Hindu Marriage Act.

Both SINDHUJA [Y] (Red in color) and SANTHOS [M2] (Blue in color) are close relationships, since obviously they are in a Sister and Brother relationship.

In this case, if the SANTHOS [M2] (Blue in color) tries to marry SINDHUJA [Y] (Red in color), is this relationship considered Sapindas in India's Hindu Marriage Act? In other words, can he legally marry her?
