Getting Access Denied error for index.html

Question

I have hosted my website example.com and www.example.com on CloudFront. The website was working fine for the past 2 weeks and all the files within S3 (PrivatePolicy, Terms and Conditions)  were accessible from cloudfront.
Today I ran 'Invalidation' on the cloudfront and now I am getting access denied. I am unable to access the default page, which is index.html page in s3. However, I am still able to access the PrivatePolicy, Terms and Conditions pages. 
I have tried disabling the distribution and re-enabling it, created new origin from scratch, checked bucket policies. When I look at the url, cloud front is appending some random words to it. Its changing www.example.com to example.com/config/?frameUrl=%2F. Also, I see the website for like 1sec and then I get access denied.

Any suggestions or guidence

Accepted Answer

I found the issue - the index.html file had a link that was accessing an external resource. Once I removed that link, it worked fine. 
Now I have to figure out how to add links to external sites like facebook
