require 'open-uri'
class UserMailer < ActionMailer::Base
  def welcome_email(image_url,bname,mailid)
    mail.attachments[image.png] = { :mime_type => type*, :content => open(URI.parse(image_url)}
    ...
  end
end

where type* is the type of attached file in your case it will be('image/png')

i think you have a URL i.e a string which File.read cannot read.

require 'open-uri'
class UserMailer < ActionMailer::Base
  def welcome_email(image_url,bname,mailid)
    attachments['image.png'] = open(URI.parse(image_url))
    ...
  end
end

The above should do the trick i think.
