The irregularity came to light during the annual Audit of Accounts conducted by the Directorate of Pre-University Education, following which the Department of Pre-University Education suspended Somanna from service, pending inquiry.

During the term of suspension, Somanna has been asked not to leave the headquarters without prior  permission of the competent authority.
