They had orders to arrest
the needed leaders. Then Kamaraj asked his Madras State representatives to depart
immediately . Varadan was arrested before entering into Madras state border.
Kumbakkonam Gopalakrishnan and T.R.V.Naryanasami come to Tanjore in disguise .
Bombay express halted at Arakkonam station 35 miles before Madras. Kamaraj
keeped out of train and saw lot of police were deployed there. He decided
to get down there as he expected to be arrested at Madras. He disguised himself
as a village folk by having a turban on head and a bundle in head. That bundle
contained the copies of the decisions taken at the Bombay conference.
He simply got down from train into the
platform and walked away unnoticed by anybody. No police who came in front of him noticed. He came out of the station in deep thought.
He rushed to the bus stand and took a bus
bound to Ranipet and sat in a corner without removing the turban. The bus flew
but his mind was faster than the bus.
At mid night in the dark he got down at
Ranipet and went to house of K.R.Kalyana Rama Iyer who was a committee member
and close friend of Kamaraj.
