MC1-12211

The RAD dismissed the appeal because the Appellants failed to establish a nexus between the alleged persecutor and the daughter's kidnapping, failed to discharge the burden to show that Delhi or Mumbai are not viable IFAs, and failed to prove that Indian police had both the means and motivation to trace them to those cities; therefore the RPD did not err and its decision rejecting refugee protection was confirmed.
