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.
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!
