Help needed to identify this section of the circuit

Hi, I need some assistance to identify what this part of the circuit does. It appears to be 2 x 10K ohm resistor and 1 x diode. This is right after power filter capacitors. I have also tried to draw a simple dircuit dragram (sorry I am using MS word to draw).

I tried googling and it appears to be capacitor bleeding circuit but I don't really understand how it works.

Why does 1 set connects from -ve to +ve while the other set is +ve to +ve?

I am also wondering if it makes any difference connection the fuse before or after the capacitors.

transformer -> rectifier -> capacitors -> fuse -> transistors (fuse after capacitors)

transformer -> rectifier -> fuse -> capacitors -> transistors (fuse before capacitors)

It would be great if folks could help me on this.

Thanks!!!
