Was the Book of the Law (Torah) ever kept inside the Ark of the Covenant?

> Deuteronomy 31:24-26 (NIV) After Moses finished writing in a book the words of this law from beginning to end, he gave this command to the Levites who carried the ark of the covenant of the Lord: “***Take this Book of the Law and place it beside the ark of the covenant*** of the Lord your God. There it will remain as a witness against you. This verse indicates that the Torah was placed ***beside*** the Ark of the Covenant and stood there as a witness. But this Wikipedia mentions the Torah was once kept inside the Ark. Was there any chance ever that the Torah was kept inside the Ark? Is there any verse supporting it? *(If the information in Wikipedia is not credible, someone must update it)* ***Note:** Readers should not be confused between Torah (book) and the stone tablets (10 Commandments). The question here is about the Book, not the tablets.*
