Remove a commit from github remote with commit number

I have a 2 days old commit. How can I remove a particular git commit from remote permanently? So that it can not be visible from browser with that commit number.

If you still can access that commit, after having rebasing and dropping said commit, and force pushing a branch, that means it is still referenced by another branch.

Removing a commit from a branch only removes it from the repo (and store it in the local repo git reflog) if no other branches reference it.
