Hello Amitsarkar81, welcome to the Apple Support Community!

The AirTag is protected by an activation lock linked to your old Apple ID. To be able to reuse it with your new account, it must be deleted from the old account from the Find application. If you still have access to your old Apple ID, temporarily log in on a device or via the iCloud site to remove the AirTag. Once this is done, you will have to physically reset the AirTag: Réinitialiser votre AirTag - Assistance Apple (FR). If you can no longer access your old Apple ID at all, the AirTag will unfortunately remain locked for security reasons. Have a nice day :)
