Two men have been convicted of attempting to murder an Indian talkback radio host.

Harnek Singh was seriously assaulted in Manukau, Auckland three years ago.

Two men, aged 27 and 38, have been found guilty of attempted murder, while a 34-year-old man has been found guilty of being an accessory after the fact.

Police said there were still several people awaiting sentencing as part of their investigation.

The three men were expected to be sentenced 28 November.

"I would like to acknowledge the Operation Daxton investigation team for their diligent work to get us to this point today," Detective Inspector Warrick Adkin said.
