According to prosecutors, when a witness attempted to leave the restroom with the phone, Deshmukh grabbed it and said it was his.

Deshmukh was a third-year resident specializing in endourology and urologic oncology at the time of the incidents.
The University of Toledo confirmed he was placed on administrative leave the day after the device was discovered and his residency appointment was not renewed following an internal investigation.
His contract ended June 30, 2025.
