I have found the way to remove entry from the collection.

 var websiteName = "abc.com";
        using (var serverManager = new ServerManager())
        {
            var config = serverManager.GetApplicationHostConfiguration();
            var ipSecuritySection = config.GetSection("system.webServer/security/ipSecurity", websiteName);
            var ipSecurityCollection = ipSecuritySection.GetCollection();

            var addElement = ipSecurityCollection.CreateElement("remove");
            addElement["ipAddress"] = ipAddress;
            ipSecurityCollection.add(addElement);
            serverManager.CommitChanges();
        }

Every thing was alright only one thing was wrong in the 2nd last line.

ipSecurityCollection.remove(addElement);

Change it to

ipSecurityCollection.add(addElement);

After that it will work perfectly.
