Cycles in Kneser graphs with three vertices forming triangles

Consider the Kneser graphs $G=K(n,k)$. Is it possible to list how many even cycles, or, at the least, existence of an even cycle of a given order in $G$, such that any three consecutive vertices form a triangle?

For Odd graphs having $(n-k)\ge3$, as these are triangle free, the answer would be none. But, suppose $n=7a,k=2a$, for positive $a$. Then, is it possible to say that these contain all even cycles of order $\ge12$ such that any three consecutive vertices induce a triangle? A more stronger version would be, if the square (in the distance sense) of any cycle of order $\ge12$ is an induced subgraph of the Kneser graphs $G$ with $n=7a,k=2a$? Any hints?
