Imphal, November 23, 2009: The Kangleipak Communist Party-Military Council (KCP-MC) has denied that Ngangom Kuber was thrashed to death by the KCP (MC) activists while stating that he died of high blood pressure after taking him for interrogation regarding his role as informer.

It also denied that the man was beaten to death in connection with monetary demand.
