Aah, started responding to this post and IF urao it ! Now have to remember what I wrote and re-write it!
I agree with every single point of yours here. Ani is an innate protector, and he stands up for what is 'right', keeping aside any emotional attachments whatsoever.
With J, the order was protector Ani reigned supreme, followed by mentor/enabler Ani, followed by the lover !
He has stood up for the weak,numerous times, in the past, no matter who is in front of him! Be it for Jethu, Bodoma,Apu di, Chhoton against his own parents.
And of course he has stood by J on many occasions, even if it meant facing the music from his family and Shrishti/Arshi.
This time around, the weak is Arshi ! The misfortune that befell Arshi is apalling, unfathomable even! The state that Arshi has been redued to, from being a happy expectant bride, the feedback that the doctor provided about Arshi's condition, the fact that a mother whose daughter is in death-bed is claiming to have ankho-dekhi some one doing the deed - all of this has shrouded and clouded Ani's logical, level-headed and practical thinking capabilities!
He is 'blinded' by an 'overwhelming urge' to get justice for Arshi and crucify the wrong-doer in the worst way possible - he knows he cannot un-do what befell on Arshi, what's done is done, but he is trying to re-do what's right for Arshi , in the sense , by providing her with justice!
So he is NOT going to ALLOW himself to be SWAYED in J's FAVOUR , because he loves her ! An milder analogy would be - Indian parents, chahe pyar jitna bhi kare bacho se, jaha bache koi galti kare, dhar dete hai do jhapar
Tab na yaad aati koi pyaar 
We need to also remember that Ani believes what he sees at face value and circumstantial evidence. He saw AK in J's room in the middle of the night and jumped to his conclusions!
He WILL NOT ALLOW himself to be PARTIAL towards J. What he doesn't understand, is by taking the NEUTRAL stand, i.e. I will deem you guilty and not deem you guilty, till you are proven guilty, he is actually 50% bent towards J could have committed the crime - which is ofcourse death nail on RuNak, at least from J's end!
It is NOT a CLEAR STAND like Jethu - "I believe J can NEVER do such a thing". We also have to remember, with Jethu, Bodoma, Apu di and Chhoton, they love J unconditionally, and probably the equation they have with J , it comes easier to believe and support her effortlessly.
Also, take note of Vinayak - he stands up for what he thinks is 'right' against his wife, despite seeing the mis-fortune that his daughter has encountered! Some might argue, his good senses are shrouded, why is he not taking a stand for his own daughter?
With Ani, he has brought J in this mix, na J BH mein 8 mahine hoti, na yeh sab hota, so like Shirshti pointed out today, Ani is the root cause of this pachera !
All said - this is just the makers way to bring in the much needed MU and 'push' for J to leave BH. They could have done it in a better way, with out making Ani behave this way.
However, if Ani's character learns to 'trust' J or learns to NOT unnecessarily mis-trust J, from this experience, it would be some win ! But I doubt it ! Leena's characters are shown to never 'grow' and 'learn'!
It basically justifies J's statement, "Self-respect hai mera, agar kabhi kisi din kuchh aisa huya, ki someone's actions overruns my self-respect, that is the day I will leave" !
For J, Ani is her living- trigger, no matter who does what to her, it is Ani and Ani alone, that can bring out the extreme in J, in this case , propells her to leave BH!
The only other trigger that J has, is her dead mother ! She will come handy when her letter comes out!

This goes along with what I said about Aniโs traits โฆ he is god of justice like jhanak is goddess of Mahanata. He meant every word he said. In his heart he feels pain for jhanak but his mind is asking him to do whatโs right (according to him). He is not being able to ignore what Shristi said , that she saw something. Think this, if he can fight for a stranger girl so much , do we expect him to sit quietly for arshi who he was about to marry, and he has been her friend and had shared romantic relationship with. So in conclusion, his roar for justice is not limited trait to jhanak not it can apply to other people as well. Like it has been mentioned in the show many times by other characters โagar jhanak ki gaha koi aur hota , tab bhi ani wo hi karata ko usanae kiya haiโ !
As far as him not completely trusting jhanak goes, he is extremely left brain guy. He seriously lacks emotional intelligence. That is why we saw so many rifts between jhanak and ani! As they both think differently. For anirudh it was strange for Shristi to involve police so recklessly without any proof.
So he has been distant with Jhanak. Jhanak and us are have emotional intelligence. And jhanak is extremely right brained person , for her she takes this as anirudh didnโt trust me! Or didnโt even bother to ask me about what happened. So this is it.
This is definitely a nail in the coffin for jhanak. Anirudh will not feel guilty about it as he still thinks he did what was right, let law handle it โฆ But yes itโs stupid โฆ how they are writing this and executing this. People will see this as character assassin. And to some degree it is.
And it is also notโฆ considering what both of these went through itโs hard to think they will go to this extreme to show how much ani cares for justice. Please donโt expect monologue saying he was acting โฆ he was surely emotional and worried about jhanak but he was also worried for arshi.
He didnโt want to be unfair to her because of his feelings if jhanak was even slightly guilty. Shristi , his parents everyone was blaming her โฆ again he was standing in the middle with two opposite set of people. He always used โagarโ โฆ so he wanted jhanak to be proven not guilty! But until itโs proven he also didnโt want to trust her because he loves her and forgive herโฆ so doing right comes above love for himโฆ ๐
