Delhi Police has arrested over 600 people and rounded up more than 8,000 suspects during Operation CyHawk 4.0, a large-scale crackdown on cybercrime conducted on April 6 and 7, officials said on Wednesday.

Around 5,000 personnel were deployed during the operation, which led to the registration of 499 new FIRs.
