TB5-13103

The claimant's core allegations (abduction by Karuna Group, sustained hiding, and travel route/timing) were found not credible due to material inconsistencies and absence of expected documentary evidence; negative inferences were drawn on central aspects; objective country evidence showed the claimant's residual profile did not attract a serious possibility of persecution; therefore claimant is neither a Convention refugee under s.96 nor a person in need of protection under s.97(1).
