On top of that I want to replace solvent molecules with the newly added molecules. So basically I am looking for gmx genion with the -rmin flag for non ions.

No GROMACS tool will do this.  You can use gmx insert-molecules in concert with 
a positions.dat file (with pre-computed locations for the molecules), followed 
by gmx solvate.
