MEMORANDUM ***

Iqwal Singh Dhami, a native and citizen of India, petitions for review of the decision of the Board of Immigration Appeals (“BIA”) affirming an Immigration Judge’s (“IJ”) denial of his application for asylum, withholding of removal, and relief under the Convention Against Torture. We have *505 jurisdiction pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1252 . We review an adverse credibility finding for substantial evidence, Lata v. INS, 204 F.3d 1241, 1245 (9th Cir.2000), and we reverse only if the evidence compels a contrary conclusion, INS v. Elias-Zacarias, 502 U.S. 478, 483-84 , 112 S.Ct. 812 , 117 L.Ed.2d 38 (1992). We deny the petition for review.

Substantial evidence supports the IJ’s decision. Dhami’s testimony regarding his political associations, police contacts, and purported medical treatment for alleged beatings was either internally inconsistent, vague, or conflicted with documentation presented at the hearing. See Pal v. INS, 204 F.3d 935, 938 (9th Cir. 2000). In addition, we agree with the IJ that Dhami failed to establish his identity, particularly in light of his own testimony indicating that corroborating evidence on this issue was easily available to him.
