If you are the owner or the owner has shared all information with you then to open Activation Lock:- If it is Activation locked, read here --> Turn off Activation Lock - Apple Support Activation Lock for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support
Learn how to remove a device from a previous owner's account.
If you are not the owner and do not have the Apple ID and Password then there is no way that you can get into this iPhone unless the original owner shares the Apple ID and password with you. If you are lucky you can get into this iPhone if they (owner) accidentally remove the device from their apple ID.

Unless you know the Apple ID and associated Apple ID used on this phone it is utterly, completely useless to you. You said you cannot reach who you bought the phone from. That is most likely because you purchased a lost or stolen iPhone. Apple will not help. We cannot help you. You cannot just buy a board for the phone. You've lost the money you spent on the phone. The phone is worthless, so it should be recycled responsibly.

The phone is useless. There is no way to ever make it work. There is no such thing as an “aftermarket” board. No one makes iPhone internals except Apple; anything that you get would either be counterfeit or salvage from another phone, and it could also be activation locked.
Thank you so much sir! I will hope so i'm that lucky!
One more thing i will ask you that can i get some information about the owner some how?
I'm afraid there is no way at all you can identify the previous owner.
Sir! I was afraid of it too and you m
ade me clear that there is no way to communicate with owner.
Would you guide me, what to do with this device or i'll have to purchase a aftermarket board for it to use it?
Turn it over to the police. You are in possession of stolen property.
