He reveals that Paasha was in love with Lissy but she didn't accept it and he was arrested for a false case made by her father Kochupaulose (Devan) for loving her. Lissy didn't tell Johnny about Paasha as she didn't want Johnny to Paasha and she wants to live with Johnny and Jeena. Paasha wanted to take her with him but she refuses.
