It is revealed that Paappan was dismissed from service several years earlier for trying to fabricate evidence to ensure that Chacko is sentenced to capital punishment.

Chacko was imprisoned for various other offences, but escaped conviction and capital punishment for many of his murders due to the absence of original dagger as evidence.
