Run lsmod command and check usb_storage module, 

Get information about the module with modinfo and module name,

And remove usb_storage module .ko file from syatem.

It will remove usb module and disable only usb storage module.

Thanks

Any help will be appreciated.

Let's think like user. If IT Department removes usb-storage.ko from my machine then how can I get this file back?

My requirement is simple. User should not install it back without permission of IT Dept.

Simple. Dont give root access or sudo rights to user.
And change permission to 700 or modprob and insmod command.
