Imphal, March 20 2009: The proscribed KCP has refuted the AR claim that three of its cadres have been killed in Maringthel and Yangoupokpi area by troops of 29 AR on March 17.A press release issued by the outfit's information and publicity secretary H Poirei asserted that the claim was a hollow propaganda of AR.

It further clarified that there was no case of KCP cadres suffering casualty in the said area.

The alleged insubstantial claim of Assam Rifles that three KCP cadres were killed and that the corpses have been taken by other cadres sounds childish, it remarked.
