During investigations, ACB found the accused to possess more assets than his sources of income. Presently Manjunathaiah is working as a lecturer of Government teachers training center, Mangaluru.

In this regard, the ACB SP had submitted the documents of the investigation to the government seeking a proper departmental disciplinary action against Manjunathaiah.
