This is what I'm getting for google.com.pk currently:

  ;; ANSWER SECTION:
  google.com.pk.		3578	IN	A	127.0.0.1
The name server seems to be set to some random one as well:

  ;; AUTHORITY SECTION:
  google.com.pk.		38400	IN	NS	dns1.freehostia.com.
  google.com.pk.		38400	IN	NS	dns2.freehostia.com.
Google normally host their own DNS, so I'd expect that to go ns1.google.com (etc). Doing a whois for google.com.pk returns the address as "Mountain View, Canada" which is kind of amusing.

I also find it amusing that the bad DNS entry propagated to 8.8.8.8:

    $ dig @8.8.8.8 www.google.pk

    ; <<>> DiG 9.8.4 <<>> @8.8.8.8 www.google.pk
    ; (1 server found)
