TA6-16682

The claimant's evidence is internally inconsistent and exaggerated; even accepting some events, the evidence does not establish a well‑founded fear of persecution on a Convention ground and there are reasonable internal relocation prospects in Tamil Nadu; removal would not expose him personally to torture, death or cruel and unusual treatment, therefore the refugee claim fails.
