You don't. There is no official Apple store in Pakistan. You purchased a stolen phone from a store that does shady business practices.

Take this up with the store you purchased this from. Apple cannot help you with stolen goods.

You CAN'T fix the problem. You've most assuredly been scammed and as others have said and as I mentioned in the second post you made about this, the phone is utterly, completely, totally useless to you. Apple will NOT help you. We CANNOT help you. If you can't get your money back, you own a useless brick. Recycle the phone responsibly. And read the link posted above in the post from Mac Jim ID with the link about buying used phones.
