Nginx: 403 Forbidden on some files extensions

Hello I am using Amazon Ec2 with Nginx. I recently setup nginx and when I for example access blog.com/index.php it shows up in the browser correctly but when I access other file extension like JPEG, PNG, JS etc the file becomes 403.

Here is the error log.

[error] 5637#0: *132 open() "/var/www/html/js/jquery.js" failed (13: Permission denied), client: 10.000.00.00, server: blog.com, request: "GET /js/jquery.min.js HTTP/1.1", host: "blog.com"

The permission stats on the js file (403 Forbiddon)

-rw-r--r-- 1 ec2-user ec2-user 93636 /var/www/html/js/jquery.js

The permission stats on the index.php file

-rw-r--r-- 1 ec2-user ec2-user 1281  /var/www/html/index.php
