Activation lock

I have recently bought a second hand ipad which has an activation lock. I am unable to get in contact with the previous owner for them to unlock this with their icloud account. Where should I go from here?

If you have proof of purchase from Apple Retail, Online, or an Authorized Reseller Apple would be able to unlock the device however if you and unable to obtain that, unfortunately nothing can be done.
