If it is hard for us to digest his aloofness, just think how hard it will be for him to digest the fact that his wife (favorite wife indeed) goes out secretely to meet someone without telling him? When he saw, he might or might not have seen that as Sujamal and even if he had seen the face of that man, he would not have recognised him as Sujamal as he had not met him earlier. Just imagine yourself in his shoe and think, if your wife meets up with some unknown guy in the darkness of the night and if that person is putting his arm on her, will you be able to think logically? He can't think that could be someone of her brothers as there was no need fro her to meet her brothers secretely. Then even if she spil the bean by telling she met her other brother Sujamal, then she will be proved guilty for meeting the person who had tried to kill their king.
Above all this, this meeting is not gone unnoticed by otehrs as Maham is the one who had saw Jodha meeting some unknown man, so he can't testify for Jodha as he himself doesn't know what was going on. Had she informed him about her earlier meeting with Sujamal or her intentions to meet him, he could have had some justification but now he is in dakr and Jodha has placed herself and also Jalal in a crucial position.
