You'll need to get the Apple ID to remove activation lock. Otherwise, you must contact Apple and provide your receipt from Apple or the Apple-authorized retailer showing. It is said that using DNS could also bypass iCloud, which has a low success rate. A removal tool can do that but all your data would be erased. If you want to try it, Joyoshare Activation Unlocker or other removal tools are good options.

If you don't know the Apple ID accociated with the device, then any effort to use it will be futile. The only thing you can try to do is contact the original owner and ask them to turn off Find My iPad - assuming that the iPad isn't lost of stolen, of course.
