On the next day morning he sent a message to the local police through his friend Jeyarama Chettiar stating that he was ready for the arrest. Immediately there came a Inspector by name Eluthachan a good patriot.

He politely and humbly requested Kamaraj to take rest for few more days as the police went to Ariyalur to arrest him.

But Kamaraj who spent 9 years ie. roughly 3000 days in jail at his youth said that he had finished his work satisfactorily and when his beloved leaders were in jail he did not like to be out and moreover for a slave in a slavery country the jail is a peaceful place hence he was to be arrested immediately.

Inspector Eluthachan stunned and overwhelmed for a minute he thought to remove his uniform and go to jail along with his Kamaraj. But out of his duty conscious he arrested the Tamil leader and the last heir of Gandhiji and sent him to Vellore jail. Kamaraj left in a police van with lot of books in a suitcase. Then he was sent to Amaravathi from Vellore jail. Only there all the Indian leaders were kept. After few years he was transferred to Vellore back.

In 1945 the Second World War came to an end. All the Security Detunes were released without any trail. Kamaraj too was released. This was his last imprisonment .
