you can't hide Related action for a user or group. if you want, you can show some error message using some user input task saying "you can not access this task"

Hi sridhars , 
 
We had a same requirement in our project, so what we did was we persisted a row in a table using the name and the action he is doing with status of the action. And when some other user comes and click on the action we show him a UI stating that this RA is already been worked upon by the user.

As an alternative to the already suggested answers, if you don't want to lock the related actions down until the task is picked up by a member of the assigned group, you could have a button press at the beginning of the task as the first thing the user does after accepting the task. This can kick off a write to the database to lock down the related actions on the record until the task is completed or some other condition is met.
