Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss and Divya Narendra said they will ask a federal court in Boston to look into the possibility that Facebook Inc. hid instant messages during a lawsuit claiming company founder Mark Zuckerberg stole their idea for the social network.

The Winklevosses and Narendra told the court yesterday in court papers that they will ask it to conduct an inquiry, prompted by reports on the Internet and in the New Yorker magazine they say suggest that Facebook improperly withheld “critical evidence,” including instant messages allegedly sent by Zuckerberg in 2003.
