All six defendants accused of the attempted murder of Radio host Harnek Singh in Auckland have lost name suppression.
They can now be publicly identified as Hardeep Singh Sandhu, Jobanpreet Singh, Sarvjeet Sidhu, Jaspal Singh, Jagraj Singh and Gurbinder Singh.
As Justice Simon Moore said all defendants maintained pleas of not guilty he was greeted with a "sea of nodding" from the court benches seating several defence lawyers.
"Your honour is quite correct," one of the defence lawyers said.
Harnek Singh was attacked in his Wattle Downs driveway on the evening of December 23.
