What do you think the meanings of your two sentences are? Note my corrections to your post in red. The actual words and phrases you are querying should be enclosed in their own quotation marks and we capitalise proper nouns (Sunday, English, December, Shakespeare, Microsoft etc).

 

[balakrish]

I'm assuming both meanings are same.

 

[emsr2d2]

As always, context is everything!

"She came in on Sunday" might mean she came into the house, she arrived by plane/boat, she entered the supermarket or any other potential meaning involving her entering a building or arriving in a country/city on public transport.
"She came on Sunday" simple means that she arrived somewhere on Sunday.

I think the preposition 'on' can be omitted for the days of the week - She came Sunday. Am I right?

 

[emsr2d2]

It would be understood but in BrE, we don't tend to omit it.

He arrived on Sunday.
She's coming on Tuesday.

It is in fact quite common in news reporting.

I'm not disputing that. I clearly stated that in BrE, we don't tend to omit it.

Anyway, perhaps we could return to the OP's actual question.

They also wrote "on Saterday". Look at second line from begining.
