MEMORANDUM **
Surinder Singh, a native and citizen of India, Ramona Geraldo Singh, a native and citizen of Mexico, and their children, *188 Lakhvir Sing Ortega and Surinder Veer Singh, natives of Mexico and citizens of India, petition for review from the Board of Immigration Appeals’ order, summarily affirming an immigration judge’s (“IJ”) denial of their application for asylum, withholding of removal, and relief under the Convention Against Torture (“CAT”). We have jurisdiction pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1252 . We review for substantial evidence, see Lata v. INS, 204 F.3d 1241, 1244 (9th Cir.2000), and we deny the petition.
Substantial evidence supports the IJ’s conclusion that Singh failed to establish past persecution or a well-founded fear of future persecution on account of an enumerated ground. See INS v. Elias-Zacarias, 502 U.S. 478, 483 , 112 S.Ct. 812 , 117 L.Ed.2d 38 (1992). Singh testified that the Indian police arrested, detained, and beat him. However, Singh failed to demonstrate that he suffered this treatment on account of an actual or imputed political opinion. See id. at 483-84 ; Sangha v. INS, 103 F.3d 1482, 1490-91 (9th Cir. 1997).
