Background

Zeeba is originated from Jhalokati Sadar Upazila.[4] Her father, Akhtaruddin Ahmad, was a Muslim League leader and a member of Malik ministry in 1971.[4] His name was included in the list of Razakars and other Pakistani collaborators to the International Crimes Tribunal prepared by Muktijoddha Sangsad of Jhalokathi in 2012.[4] He was arrested in December 1971 under the Collaborators Act, 1972. Later, he was released in the end of 1973 under a general amnesty declared by Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, pardoning all those who supported the unity of Pakistan (except individuals involved in human rights abuses). After his release, Akhtaruddin Ahmed migrated to Saudi Arabia, where he worked as a consultant for Saudia.
