Actor VK Naresh has filed a court petition seeking protection from his third wife, Ramya, and requesting the dissolution of their marriage. He claims that Ramya had been planning to kill him in order to gain access to his money and possessions.

Naresh also alleges that Ramya had hired a supari gang to conduct surveillance at his house last year and that a police officer collaborated with Ramya to hack into his phone. Despite having a son together, Naresh has recently been in a relationship with actress Pavitra Lokesh and announced his impending marriage to her in a viral video.

Ramya has previously stated that Naresh cannot legally marry Pavitra because she is already his wife. Naresh alleges that Ramya had demanded Rs 10 crore from him to end their conflict.
