Dear friend,
I may add to what has been said so far-
1) Do you have any information like this or something of this sort in the past involving these two people. If yes, those incidents, tagging them here might help you to save you.
2) Was there any written complaint alleging these incidents so far or only oral threat. In which case is there CCTV footage, could it be secured to corroborate your role in the circumstances.
3) What could have been the motives behind these. Simple professional jealousy ? Apart from the bribery angle which is difficult to prove with evidence, Did you have any tiff with these people in the past and therefore taking revenge like this.
4) Cussing in the premises is not seen as a 'decent office manners' that too against your seniors not going to be spared. Therefore if you consider it reasonable you can even express regret over the 2nd incident.
5) What has been the reputation & rapport of these two in the office and with their seniors. Do you consider if you take up your side of defence escalated to Sr.Management will it be given due seriousness and judged on merits or they'll also possibly take sides?
Take next few steps carefully taking all these aspects together.
Let natural justice should prevail. All the best.
