To deny means to say that you did not do something that someone has accused you of doing.

When we use the word deny, the –ing form of the verb is used.

For example:  He denied attempting to murder his child.

Correct sentence - They denied doing anything wrong and said they were completely innocent.

Tip: Some verbs which are used in their –ing­ forms are-

She enjoys reading (and not ‘She enjoys to read’ ).

Would you mind closing the door?  (and not ‘ Would you mind to close the door?’ ).
